Chromosome segregation synchrony in S. pombe is noise-limited and arises without positive feedback

Wendi Williams, Kien Phan, Jing Chen…·Silke Hauf

This study shows that anaphase synchrony in fission yeast depends on rapid securin degradation and is limited by molecular noise, without requiring positive feedback.

A distinct phase of cyclin B (Cdc13) nuclear export at mitotic entry in S. pombe

Samir G. Chethan, Jessie M. Rogers, Drisya Vijayakumari…·Silke Hauf

The paper shows that Cdc13 nuclear export occurs before mitosis in S. pombe and is linked to spindle pole body integration, but not sufficient to trigger mitotic entry.
