Emily Gutierrez-Morton, Yanchang Wang and colleagues show that in yeast, polo-like kinase Cdc5 promotes the phosphorylation of SUMO protease Ulp2, reducing its affinity for SUMO chains and thereby facilitating polySUMOylation. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Cdc42 accumulates in aged cells, and reducing its levels extends life span.Two representative WT cells expressing Cdc42-mCherrySW are shown at selected ages and time points (hr: min) from initial loading. White arrowheads indicate cells during or shortly after cytokinesis, when Cdc42 levels are quantified. Black and red arrowheads denote the same cells at other cell cycle stages and cell death, respectively. Scale bar: 3 µm.
Cdc42 is a small GTPase crucial for #CellPolarity, but how does it contribute to #aging when upregulated? This study shows that the ER-anchored chaperone Ydj1 interacts with Cdc42, enhancing its stability & partitioning during asymm #CellDivision & aging in yeast @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4qz7WaM

In the radiation-resistant Deinococcus radiodurans, septal PG synthesis during division happens in steps:
SEDS–bPBP starts constriction
Class A PBPs reinforce the wall later.
