Actin-microtubule crosstalk imparts stiffness to the contractile ring in fission yeast.

K. Bellingham-Johnstun, Z. L. Tyree, J. Martinez-Baird, A. Thorn, C. Laplante

The paper investigates how actin-microtubule interactions affect the mechanical properties of the contractile ring in fission yeast, finding that PAA microtubules reduce ring stiffness without impacting cytokinesis.

Microtubule competition and cell growth recenter the nucleus after anaphase in fission yeast.

K. Bellingham-Johnstun, A. Thorn, J. M. Belmonte, C. Laplante

The paper investigates nuclear recentering in fission yeast after anaphase, identifying two mechanisms: push-push and slow-and-grow, driven by microtubule dynamics and cell growth.

Cooperation between Imp2p and Cdc15p imparts stiffness to the constricting contractile ring in fission yeast.

K. Bellingham-Johnstun, B. Commer, B. Levesque, Z. L. Tyree, C. Laplante

The paper investigates the role of Imp2p and Cdc15p in providing stiffness to the contractile ring in fission yeast and shows their reciprocal interactions during cytokinesis.

Lipid droplets are a metabolic vulnerability in melanoma

D. Lumaquin, E. Montal, A. Baggiolini, Y. Ma, C. LaPlante, T.-H. Huang, S. Suresh, L. Studer, R. M. White

This study identifies lipid droplets as a metabolic vulnerability in melanoma by linking the pigmented cell state to increased fatty acid uptake and oxidative metabolism.

Genetic transformation and live-cell nuclear and actin dynamics during the life cycle of a chytrid

E. M. Medina, K. A. Robinson, K. Bellingham-Johnstun, G. Ianiri, C. Laplante, L. K. Fritz-Laylin, N. E. Buchler

This study uses genetic tools to analyze live-cell nuclear and actin dynamics in the chytrid Spizellomyces punctatus, revealing rapid life cycle stages and actin reorganization during development.
