Figure 1. Cells of S. cerevisiae under the microscope. The white arrows point to dividing cells.

Figure 2. Micrograph of a dividing yeast cell.

Figure 3. Schematic representation of the yeast cell wall.

Figure 4. Yeast microtubules and actin filaments (not to scale). Note that the actin monomers are differently colored only for better visualization.

Figure 5. Motor proteins in yeast. The chains in myosin and kinesin are identical; distinction by color is only for better perception. Kin1p is a “plus”-end motor; Kar3p is a “minus”-end motor.

Figure 6. Vesicle (and organelle) transport in yeast.

Figure 7. Yeast nucleus. NPC, nuclear pore; SPB, spindle pole body; CMT, cytosolic microtubules; NMT, nuclear microtubules; DMT, discontinuous microtubules.

Figure 8. Schematic view of the NPC. NOM, nuclear outer membrane; NIM, nuclear inner membrane.

Figure 9. Model of the outer core complex of the nuclear pore.

Figure 10. PFGE of S. cerevisiae chromosomes.

Figure 11. Pathways and vesicle types in intracellular traffic. Colored vesicles: green, COPII; red, COPI; blue, clathrin. MVB, multi-vesicular body; Cla, Clathrin; PM, plasma membrane. Other abbreviations are explained in the text.

Figure 12. Model of a COPII vesicle cage in cuboctahedron geometry. The outer scaffold (Sec13/Sec31) is shown in green; red, Sar1; blue, Sec23/Sec24; gray, cargo.

Figure 13. Clathrin; triskelion scaffold shown in blue.
