The apex of the mating projection in unicellular fungi exposed to mating pheromone; site of polarized growth. The region at either end of the longest axis of a cylindrical or elongated cell, where polarized growth may occur. The end, or tip, of a fungal hypha, where polarized growth occurs during hyphal elongation. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. Includes the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope. The end of a cellular bud distal to the site of attachment to the mother cell. Protein complex that plays a role in determining cell polarity by directing the localized assembly of actin filaments at polarization sites; in Saccharomyces the polarisome includes Bni1p, Spa2p, Pea2p, and Bud6p. The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together. Any part of a cell where non-isotropic growth takes place. The constriction between the mother cell and daughter cell (bud) in an organism that reproduces by budding. The migrating motile tip of a growing nerve cell axon or dendrite.
