Fission yeast Smi1p participates in the synthesis of the primary septum by regulating β-1,3-glucan synthase Bgs1p function

K. Sethi, J. C. G. Cortes, M. Sato, M. Osumi, N. I. Naqvi, J. C. Ribas, M. BALASUBRAMANIAN

This study identifies Smi1p as a regulator of Bgs1p function during cytokinesis in fission yeast, showing its role in cell wall synthesis and actomyosin ring dynamics.

Myosin turnover controls actomyosin contractile instability

S. Thiyagarajan, S. Wang, T. G. Chew, J. Huang, M. BALASUBRAMANIAN, B. O'Shaughnessy

The paper observes actomyosin contractile instability in isolated cytokinetic rings and shows myosin II turnover prevents catastrophic aggregation and fracture.

Inhibition of cell membrane ingression at the division site by cell wall in fission yeast

T. G. Chew, T. C. Lim, Y. Oaski, J. Huang, A. Kamnev, M. Osumi, M. Balasubramanian

The paper shows that in fission yeast, a weakened extracellular glycan matrix allows non-medial division and slower ring contraction, independent of septum synthesis.
