All centrosomes are not equivalent! DNA Microtubules IoDPP mRNA
Yeast spindle orientation Video GFP-tubulin GFP-tubulin Dyn1:His3 Video
MTOC reorientation to the immunological synapse in single positive mature T-cells
Ash1 mRNA (encoding a transcriptional repressor of MAT switching) is transported into the daughter in budding yeast Locasome transport requires formin-initiated microfilament cables and a myosin V family member (Myo4p)
3’UTR structure is important ash1 mutants don’t switch Ash1 mRNA
Proteins are segregated to the bud too Both the Ist2p protein and mRNA are localized to the bud
