Some assembly required: Redefining the mitotic checkpoint
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017 The spindle assembly checkpoint (also known as the spindle or mitotic checkpoint) is a surveillance system that ensures fidelity of chromosome segregation.

Cell Reports, 2015 Condensin is a conserved chromosomal complex necessary to promote mitotic chromosome condensation and sister chromatid resolution during anaphase. Here, we report that yeast condensin binds to replicated centromere regions.

Bub1-mediated adaptation of the spindle checkpoint. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 During cell division, the spindle checkpoint ensures accurate chromosome segregation by monitoring the kinetochore-microtubule interaction and delaying the onset of anaphase until each pair of sister chromosomes is properly attached to microtubules.

Early onset of APC/C activity renders SAC inefficient in mouse embryos
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyControl mechanisms of spindle assembly and chromosome segregation are vital for preventing aneuploidy during cell division. The mammalian germ cells and embryos are prone to chromosome segregation errors, and the resulting aneuploidy is a major cause of ...

CENP-F-dependent DRP1 function regulates APC/C activity during oocyte meiosis I
Nature Communications, 2022 Spindle assembly checkpoint controls anaphase onset and guarantees appropriate chromosome segregation. Here, the authors report that dynamin-related protein 1 is recruited to kinetochores by CENP-F to regulate metaphase-to-anaphase transition by ...

Spatiotemporal regulation of MELK during mitosis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyMaternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase (MELK) has been studied intensively in recent years due to its overexpression in multiple cancers. However, the cell biology of MELK remains less characterized despite its well-documented association with mitosis.

Nur1 dephosphorylation confers positive feedback to mitotic exit phosphatase activation in budding yeast. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Substrate dephosphorylation by the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-opposing phosphatase, Cdc14, is vital for many events during budding yeast mitotic exit.

The Plant Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) represents a large multisubunit E3-ubiquitin ligase complex that controls the unidirectional progression through the cell cycle by the ubiquitination of specific target proteins, marking them for proteasomal destruction.

Anaphase Promoting Complex or Cyclosome? [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2005 The anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) was initially described as a multi-subunit protein complex that ubiquitinates anaphase inhibitors thus targeting them for destruction by proteasomes to initiate loss of sister chromatid cohesion. However, recent studies have identified important new functions of the APC/C.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created
