More than a decade of research shows that the nucleolus—the largest structure in the eukaryotic nucleus—plays a pivotal role in aging. Now, a new study analyzing yeast cells suggests both that the ...

Against this backdrop, a research team from Japan recently focused on an autophagy pathway that degrades a part of the nucleus (macronucleophagy) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a species of yeast ...

Left, fission yeast; right, budding yeast; visualized with the nuclear DNA stain DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) to highlight the nucleus. The Domino and Clock Models of Cell Cycle Regulation ...

To the growing list of factors required for the export of messenger RNA from nucleus to cytoplasm can now be added Yra1. Yeast Yra1 and its metazoan orthologues bind mRNAs and interact with ...
