The paper identifies atonosomes as tension-responsive plasma membrane-derived compartments in yeast, showing they form rapidly in response to membrane tension loss and are regulated by cell wall dynamics.

This study shows that high Cdc42 levels are required for cell fusion in yeast, with distinct regulatory mechanisms compared to polarized growth.

The paper identifies Sms1 as a novel MAPK scaffold in fission yeast that regulates mating by negative feedback through membrane translocation.

The paper maps the actin fusion focus in S. pombe with 8 nm precision, showing myosin V transports formin Fus1 for actin aster compaction.

The paper shows how epigenetic silencing and genetic changes enable Prm1-independent fusion in yeast, but at the cost of mitotic growth, while synthetic mutations avoid this trade-off.

The paper identifies a conserved complex that controls vesicle targeting during cytokinesis in fission yeast, ensuring proper cell division and integrity.

The paper uses phosphoproteomics to show that TORC1 is reactivated by pheromone signaling in fission yeast during sexual reproduction, supporting spore viability.

This study investigates the yeast-to-hypha transition in S. japonicus, identifying fruit extracts as inducers and revealing unique cellular features of hyphal growth and division.
