... for the completion of S. pombe cell division and this event relies on the production of Mid2p. mid2 + mRNA and protein accumulate in mitosis. Recent microarray analyses identified mid2 + as a target of the Ace2p transcription factor, and ace2 + as a target of the Sep1p transcription factor. In this study, we find...

... in cell separation (such as ENG1 , SCW11, DSE1 and DSE2 ). Interestingly, these genes are specifically regulated by the transcription factor Ace2p, suggesting that Swm1p is required for normal expression of Ace2p-dependent genes during growth at high temperatures. Although no defect in Ace2p localization...

.... Mutants lacking this transcriptional regulator (which we have named ace2 + ) show a severe cell separation defect, hyphal growth being observed. Thus, ace2p may regulate the expression of the eng1 + gene together with that of other genes whose products are also involved in cell separation. For light...
