...Masak Takaine; Kazuki Imada; Osamu Numata; Taro Nakamura; Kentaro Nakano ABSTRACT Sporulation, gametogenesis in yeast, consists of meiotic nuclear division and spore morphogenesis. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe , the four haploid nuclei produced after meiosis II are encapsulated...

...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...

...Chikashi Shimoda In the yeasts Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae , sporulation involves de novo synthesis of forespore membrane (FSM) within the cytoplasm of mother cells. The FSM ultimately becomes the plasma membrane of the developing ascospores. Several protein components...

... MSO1 and SSO1 , but not SSO2, are required for sporulation. This difference is not due to differential expression, since SSO2 expressed from the SSO1 promoter failed to restore sporulation. We conclude that a functional difference exists between the Sso1 and Sso2 proteins, with the former being...

... + was expressed not only in meiotic cells but also in vegetative cells. When the spo15-GFP fusion gene was expressed by the authentic spo15 promoter during vegetative growth and sporulation, the fusion protein colocalized with Sad1p, which is a component of spindle pole bodies. Meiotic divisions proceeded...
