Regulation of Mitotic Exit in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Methods Mol Biol. 2017:1505:3-17. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-6502-1_1.

Abstract

The Mitotic Exit Network (MEN) is an essential signaling pathway, closely related to the Hippo pathway in mammals, which promotes mitotic exit and initiates cytokinesis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the MEN components and their regulation.

Keywords: Cdc14 phosphatase; Hippo pathway; MEN; Mitosis; Mitotic exit network.
