Explorers deliver tea to the pole

Abstract: How does a fission yeast know where its ends are, so that the two poles can grow directly away from one another? New work indicates that a protein called tea1 acts as a marker, to direct the cellular growth machinery to the poles. Moreover, tea1 is localized to, and maintained at, the poles by the microtubular cytoskeleton.
