.... During sporulation, VPS13 is important for formation of the prospore membrane that encapsulates the daughter nuclei to give rise to spores. We report that VPS13 is required for multiple aspects of prospore membrane morphogenesis. VPS13 (1) promotes expansion of the prospore membrane through regulation...

...Hideki Nakanishi; Yasuyuki Suda; Aaron M. Neiman Sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a developmental process in which four haploid spores are created within a single mother cell. During this process, the prospore membrane is generated de novo on the spindle pole body, elongates along...

...Hideki Nakanishi; Masayo Morishita; Cindi L. Schwartz; Alison Coluccio; JoAnne Engebrecht; Aaron M. Neiman Spore formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the de novo formation of prospore membranes. The coalescence of secretory vesicles into a membrane sheet occurs on the cytoplasmic surface...
