Ascospore formation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Article Abstract:

Comparison of transcriptional microarray studies with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe indicates that relatively few of the sporulation-induced genes in S. cerevisiae have homologues whose expression is similarly induced during sporulation in fission yeast. Given the overall similarity in events of sporulation, S. cerevisiae will serve as a good model for understanding the process in other fungi, even if identification of analogous function is not readily done.

The yeast actin cytoskeleton: From cellular function to biochemical mechanism

Article Abstract:

The filamentous actin structures found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and their physiological functions are described and their specific roles of actin-associated proteins and their biochemical mechanisms of action discussed. It is learnt that growth of actin networks is achieved through the coordinated activities of multiple actin-binding proteins working in concert, and the mechanisms and functions of each of them are described.
