The proteomics of quiescent and nonquiescent cell differentiation in yeast stationary-phase cultures
Starved yeast cultures differentiate into quiescent (Q) and nonquiescent (NQ) cell fractions. The yeast GFP-fusion library (4159 strains) and high-throughput flow cytometry were used to study this process. This showed significant metabolic and physiologic differences between Q/NQ cells and provided new tools for studying their differentiation
Vimentin organization modulates the formation of lamellipodia
The disassembly and withdrawal of vimentin intermediate filaments (VIF) from the plasma membrane induces membrane ruffling and the formation of a lamellipodium. Conversely, lamellipodium formation is inhibited when VIF are present
