Abstrakt: Organelle inheritance has emerged as an active and fundamentally important branch of cell biology. As a result of advances in our understanding of organelle biogenesis, cell cycle progression, cytoskeletal dynamics, establishment of cell polarity, and membrane-cytoskeletal interactions, we are now in a position to uncover the molecular basis for organelle inheritance. Diversity appears to be a theme in organelle inheritance, from the use of immobilization versus selective mobilization for control of organelle position, in the type of force-generating machinery that is used to drive organelle motility, and in the type of cytoskeletal network used for all forms of positional control. Fungi will continue to play a central role as model systems to understand the mechanisms that ensure proper organelle segregation during cell division in dividing cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
