We'll be gathering in Room W2303 at 12:30 on Tuesday, April 6.
Mandy from the Evans lab will present:
Membrane fusion triggers rapid degradation of two gamete-specific, fusion-essential proteins in a membrane block to polygamy in Chlamydomonas
Development, 2010, doi: 10.1242/dev.044743
Yanjie Liu, Michael J. Misamore, and William J. Snell
(Block to polygamy -- think polygamy = polyspermy.)
If you don't know Chlamydomonas ("Chlamy" for short), it's a great unicellular eukaryotic system with very good genetics that has been used for studies of lots of cool cell biological processes ... including my personal fave, fertilization. For more information:

(BTW, I see that Bill is looking for a post-doc, in case anyone is interested!)
