  1. Selective macroautophagy of the #EndoplasmicReticulum (ER) and the #nucleus, known as ER-phagy and nucleophagy respectively, are poorly understood. A study in #FissionYeast reveals that conserved ER-shaping protein Yep1 (REEP1-4 ortholog) is required for these processes; in its absence, #ERphagy/#nucleophagy cargo structures accumulate in the cytoplasm #PLOSBiology plos.io/464ZfuI

  2. How is #biomass production controlled during cell growth and the cell cycle?

    New assay by Clovis Basier & Paul Nurse @thecrick using unperturbed exponentially growing populations shows how #cellcycle and cell size affect global rates of RNA and protein synthesis in #fissionyeast

    #RefereedPreprint c/o @ReviewCommons now published in revised form!
