Centromere chromatin may regulate the Flip-flop type of the Mating Type Switching in methylotrophic yeast Ogataea polymorpha

Nodoka Fukuyama, Kaoru Takegawa, Hiromi Maekawa

This study shows centromere chromatin, via OpCse4 and OpScm3, is essential for Flip-flop mating type switching in Ogataea polymorpha by facilitating recombination between MAT-adjacent inverted repeats.

Sex without crossing over in the yeast Saccharomycodes ludwigii

Ioannis A. Papaioannou, Fabien Dutreux, France A. Peltier, Hiromi Maekawa, Nicolas Delhomme, Amit Bardhan, Anne Friedrich, Joseph Schacherer, Michael Knop

The paper shows that Saccharomycodes ludwigii undergoes meiosis without recombination, relying on frequent fertilization within tetrads instead.

SIN-like pathway kinases regulate the end of mitosis in the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea polymorpha

Shen Jiangyan, Kaoru Takegawa, Gislene Pereira, Hiromi Maekawa

This study identifies OpHCD1 and OpHCD2 as kinases involved in mitotic exit and cytokinesis in Ogataea polymorpha, suggesting a SIN-like pathway regulates mitosis termination in this yeast.
