Fungal zygote survival and ploidy maintenance rely on cell cycle-dependent and independent mating blocks

A. Vjestica, M. Berard, G. Liu, L. Merlini, P. J. Nkosi, S. G. Martin

This study identifies two mechanisms in fission yeast that prevent zygotic mating and maintain ploidy: Mei2 enforcing meiosis and Mei3 driving cell cycle progression.

Optogenetics reveals Cdc42 local activation by scaffold-mediated positive feedback and Ras GTPase

I. Lamas, L. Merlini, A. Vjestica, V. Vincenzetti, S. Martin

The paper uses optogenetics to show that scaffold-mediated positive feedback and Ras GTPase activity are essential for Cdc42 local activation and bipolar growth in fission yeast.

Gamete fusion rapidly reconstitutes a bi-partite transcription factor to block re-fertilization

A. Vjestica, L. Merlini, P. Nkosi, S. G. Martin

This study shows that gamete fusion in S. pombe rapidly reconstitutes a bi-partite transcription factor to block re-fertilization and induce meiosis.
