Dynamics of SIN asymmetry establishment.

Timing of cell division is coordinated by the Septation Initiation Network (SIN) in fission yeast. SIN activation is initiated at the two spindle pole bodies (SPB) of the cell in metaphase, but only one of these SPBs contains an active SIN in anaphase, while SIN is inactivated in the other by the Cd...

description Timing of cell division is coordinated by the Septation Initiation Network (SIN) in fission yeast.
