Imagine standing at a cliff with an ocean view. The ocean is colored orange/yellow hues, and the scruffy grass on the cliff is white. Over the ocean is black text about the Yeast Genetics Meeting June 13-17, 2026 in Pacific Grove CA with #Yeast26. And below the black text is green text yelling "I'm Attending!"
Happy to share about #Spombe and #Soctosporus at the #Yeast26 conference in June!!
Mating fission yeast cells expressing Myo52-GFP (green), Cdc42-mCherrySW (Magenta) and mTagBFP2 expressed in P-cells (cyan). The cells fail to fuse, as shown by the cyan fusion marker confined to one of cell compartment. Image credit: Sajjita Saha.
Polarized growth in #Spombe needs Cdc42, but what role does it play in cell fusion? @sajjitasaha.bsky.social @sophiemartinlab.bsky.social &co show that mitotic polarized growth responds linearly to Cdc42 levels, but mating involves a sharp switch-like response @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4bvGIhb

High resolution mapping of the #actin fusion focus reveals #myosin V-dependent formin transport for aster formation. New study from Valentine Thomas (@valthomas.bsky.social), Sophie Martin (@sophiemartinlab.bsky.social) et al: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

We set out to understand how subtelomeric #heterochromatin is organized in #Spombe. Subtelomeres are repetitive, variable, and poorly mapped, yet play essential roles in protecting chromosome ends and regulating genome function. (1/n)
Excited to share that our work on “Uridylation regulates transcript levels in quiescent yeast cells” was selected for an oral presentation at #yeast2025 in Paris!
Looking forward to sharing our results and discussing RNA regulation in quiescence #quiescence #Spombe #RNAbiology
