A Model for Cell Wall Dissolution in Mating Yeast Cells: Polarized Secretion and Restricted Diffusion of Cell Wall Remodeling Enzymes Induces Local Dissolution
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Mating of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, occurs when two haploid cells of opposite mating types signal using reciprocal pheromones and receptors, grow towards each other, and fuse to form a single diploid ... -
On epistasis and adaptation in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2021-08-30)The diverse forms of life which surround us today are the product of long lines of mutations, all running back to a common ancestor. Along these interconnected lines of evolutionary history, DNA sequences have been duplicated, ... -
A Predictive Model for Yeast Cell Polarization in Pheromone Gradients
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Budding yeast cells exist in two mating types, a and α, which use peptide pheromones to communicate with each other during mating. Mating depends on the ability of cells to polarize up pheromone gradients, but cells also ... -
Structure-Function Analysis of the Conserved Histone Chaperone Spt6
(2014-06-06)Chromatin structure is crucial to regulate access to the genome for processes such as a transcription, recombination, DNA repair, and DNA replication. Spt6, a key factor involved in regulating chromatin structure, is ...
