“…The bud necks of the iqg1-4A cells were significantly larger than control cells, 1.9 compared with 1.3 μm ( p = 0.0002). Effects on the size of the bud neck have been seen after perturbation of many other cytokinesis and septation genes, including Hof1, Cyk3, Inn1, and Chs2 ( Lippincott and Li, 1998a ; Korinek et al ., 2000 ; Stockstill et al ., 2013 ; Kuilman et al ., 2015 ). Mechanistically, the reason for the altered bud neck size is unknown, but it is likely due to the coupling between cytokinesis, septation, and selection of the future bud site in budding yeast.…”
