Zac’s paper online at MBoC
Jun. 7, 2018—Zac Elmore's thesis work is now available online at MBoC. Zac determined how S. pombe casein kinases Hhp1/2 are targeted to the spindle pole body: localization information is in the kinase domain. Zac collaborated with co-grad student Rodrigo Guillen to show this is a conserved feature of casein kinases, since human CK1 delta/epsilon also use kinase domain to localize to centrosomes. ...
Read Sierra’s paper in the August issue of JCB
Jun. 6, 2018—Read Gould lab postdoc Sierra Cullati's paper "A bifurcated signaling cascade of NIMA-related kinases controls distinct kinesins in anaphase" in the August issue of Journal of Cell Biology. This paper shares some of her graduate thesis work from Scott Gerber's lab at Dartmouth. In this paper, Sierra dissects the regulation of kinesins Mklp2 and Kif14 by NIMA-related kinases Nek6, Nek7, and Nek9...
Chloe’s and Alaina’s paper available online!
Jun. 6, 2018—Chloe Snider and Alaina Willet are first authors on a paper accepted at Journal of Cell Biology and now available online. Click to read about "Phosphoinositide-mediated ring anchoring resists perpendicular forces to promote medial cytokinesis." This paper establishes the importance of proper plasma membrane lipid composition for cytokinesis in S. pombe. When plasma membrane lipid composition is perturbed, the cytokinetic ring...
Nathan’s paper published in eLife
Jun. 6, 2018—Nathan's paper "Nanoscale architecture of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe contractile ring" is now published in eLife. (Click to read: eLife 2017;6:e28865). In collaboration with Abigail Lind (Rokas Lab at Vanderbilt, ), Nathan used super-resolution microscopy to determine the spatial relationship of contractile ring proteins at nanoscale resolution. These results were further supported by intermolecular FRET analysis. To read more,...
Alaina’s paper accepted at MBoC!
Jun. 6, 2018—2018 is off to a great start: MBoC has recently accepted a manuscript by Alaina Willet, a post-doc in the Gould lab! This paper builds on the work of former graduate student Adam Bohnert, which demonstrated phospho-regulation of the formin Cdc12, which is essential for forming the actin of the contractile ring. Adam also identified Sid2 as one of Cdc12's regulatory...
