The perpetual movements of anaphase [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010
One of the most extraordinary events in the lifetime of a cell is the coordinated separation of sister chromatids during cell division. This is truly the essence of the entire mitotic process and the reason for the most profound morphological changes in cytoskeleton and nuclear organization that a cell may ever experience.

Rif1 Regulates the Fate of DNA Entanglements during Mitosis

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Clearance of entangled DNA from the anaphase mid-region must accurately proceed in order for chromosomes to segregate with high fidelity. Loss of Taz1 (fission yeast ortholog of human TRF1/TRF2) leads to stalled telomeric replication forks that trigger ...

Anaphase B Precedes Anaphase A in the Mouse Egg [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
Segregation of chromosomes at the time of cell division is achieved by the microtubules and associated molecules of the spindle. Chromosomes attach to kinetochore microtubules (kMTs), which extend from the spindle pole region to kinetochores assembled upon centromeric DNA.

Mitotic chromosome alignment ensures mitotic fidelity by promoting interchromosomal compaction during anaphase

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2019
Chromosome alignment at the equator of the mitotic spindle is a highly conserved step during cell division; however, its importance to genomic stability and cellular fitness is not understood.

Identification of a Sgo2-Dependent but Mad2-Independent Pathway Controlling Anaphase Onset in Fission Yeast

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
The onset of anaphase is triggered by activation of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) following silencing of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC).

APC/C-Cdh1-targeted substrates as potential therapies for Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and the main cause of dementia in the elderly. The disease has a high impact on individuals and their families and represents a growing public health and socio-economic burden ...

Force-generating mechanisms of anaphase in human cells

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2019
What forces drive chromosome segregation remains one of the most challenging questions in cell division. Even though the duration of anaphase is short, it is of utmost importance for genome fidelity that no mistakes are made.

Aurora B couples chromosome alignment with anaphase by targeting BubR1, Mad2, and Cenp-E to kinetochores

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2003
The Aurora/Ipl1 family of protein kinases plays multiple roles in mitosis and cytokinesis. Here, we describe ZM447439, a novel selective Aurora kinase inhibitor.

Visualizing the complex functions and mechanisms of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2017
The anaphase promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) is a large multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that orchestrates cell cycle progression by mediating the degradation of important cell cycle regulators.
