Seminaire Lundi 6 mars 2017. Nicolas Minc ( Institut Jacques Monod, Paris France) : "Cell polarity and mechanics in fission yeast"

Sauf mention contraire, les séminaires et les soutenances se déroulent à 11h30 en salle 454A du bâtiment Condorcet.


The integration of biochemical and biomechanical elements is at the heart of morphogenesis. I will discuss problems of cell shape determination in fission yeast, a rod-shape model fungal cell which grows by tip extension. I will focus on the contribution of the cell wall, a rigid layer which encases these turgid cells, on polarity patterns and cell shape. I will present results on symmetry breaking during spore germination, and a novel method to study cell wall assembly in live cells. These studies highlight important dynamic feedbacks between biochemical and mechanical elements that serve to define and maintain cell morphogenesis.
