Basal association of a transcription factor favors early gene expression

The paper investigates how Ste12 binding site configurations and nucleosome positioning affect gene expression timing and level in yeast mating.

Implication of polymerase recycling for nascent transcript quantification by live cell imaging

The paper investigates how polymerase recycling affects nascent transcript quantification in live-cell imaging, finding that gene length does not influence signal intensity under stress conditions.

Cdc42 mobility and membrane flows regulate fission yeast cell shape and survival

This study shows that Cdc42 mobility and membrane flows are critical for fission yeast cell shape and survival, with lower mobility leading to impaired polarization and viability.

Cell patterning by secretion-induced plasma membrane flows

The paper shows that exocytosis-induced membrane flows restrict Cdc42 activity zones by dragging proteins and forming negative feedback in fission yeast.

Sterol flow between the plasma membrane and the endosome is regulated by the LAM family protein Ltc1

The paper visualizes sterol flow between plasma membrane and endosomes in fission yeast using a biosensor, revealing Ltc1's role in sterol transport and PM homeostasis.

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

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.

Feedback inhibition of Ras activity coordinates cell fusion with cell-cell contact

The paper shows that Ras activity feedback inhibition coordinates cell fusion with cell-cell contact in fission yeast.

A systematic screen for morphological abnormalities during fission yeast sexual reproduction identifies a mechanism of actin aster formation for cell fusion
