Dictyostelium has long proven to be a valuable system for studying various aspects of the cytoskeleton and cell motility. In this review we describe the isolation of a novel gene, racE, and how we have used multiple approaches to learn how the product of this gene is involved in cytokinesis. The rac

a-Actinin-negative transformants of Dicryostelium have been obtained by transforming cells with a transformation vector carrying part of the a-actinin gene in either sense or antisense orientation. The transformants did not produce detectable a-actinin anymore and contained an altered RNA lacking th
UBC11 is the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene that is most similar in sequence to E2-C, a ubiquitin carrier protein required for the destruction of mitotic cyclins and proteins that maintain sister chromatid cohesion in animal cells and in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We have disrupted the UBC11 gene and
