This study shows that Lac1-dependent ceramide synthesis is essential for proper septum assembly and cell separation in fission yeast.

This study shows that specific ceramide structural features, particularly acyl chain length and sphingoid base hydroxylation, differentially regulate nutrient sensing, TORC2 signaling, and cell size control in yeast.

The paper investigates the molecular mechanisms of growth-dependent hyperphosphorylation of the Gin4 kinase in budding yeast, identifying Elm1 and casein kinase I as key regulators.
