Septins are GTP binding proteins that constitute the 4th component of the
cytoskeleton. Septins form rod shaped heterooligomeric complexes that polymerize
into linear filaments, which are further organized into higher order structures
such as rings, hourglasses, and gauzes. These structures act as a scaffold
and/or diffusion barrier to impact a wide range of cellular functions including
cytokinesis, cell polarization, cell migration, ciliogenesis, bacterial
invasion, and sperm motility. Today, Dr. Bi is going to talk about the
architecture, dynamics, and functions of the septin cytoskeleton during the cell
cycle in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae where septins were initially
discovered.
