The role of phosphorylation in the elasticity of the tethers that connect telomeres of separating anaphase chromosomes

open access: yesNucleus, 2020
Elastic tethers, connecting telomeres of all separating anaphase chromosome pairs, lose elasticity when they lengthen during anaphase. Treatment with phosphatase inhibitor CalyculinA causes anaphase chromosomes to move backwards after they reach the ...

The copy-number and varied strengths of MELT motifs in Spc105 balance the strength and responsiveness of the spindle assembly checkpoint

open access: yeseLife, 2020
During mitosis, the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) maintains genome stability while also ensuring timely anaphase onset. To maintain genome stability, the SAC must be strong to delay anaphase even if just one chromosome is unattached, but for timely ...

Dynamic Regulation of Endogenous Transcription Factor Hubs at Single‐Molecule Resolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines single‐molecule microscopy and genome editing to characterize the dynamic behaviors of endogenous oncofusion transcription factor EWS::FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cells. EWS::FLI1 forms neomorphic hubs that dynamically assemble and dissolve. The hubs are regulated during mitosis, by RNA, and by specific chemicals.

Pericentrosomal Redistribution of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Ensures Organelle Symmetric Inheritance and Mitotic Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon mitotic entry, RTN4 relocalizes to the pericentrosomal region, forming a more tubular ER network around centrosomes. CDK1‐mediated phosphorylation of RTN4 increases its interaction with Rab11 GTPase, facilitating dynein‐dependent transport of RTN4 to the pericentrosomal region.

Multipolar spindle pole coalescence is a major source of kinetochore mis-attachment and chromosome mis-segregation in cancer cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Many cancer cells display a CIN (Chromosome Instability) phenotype, by which they exhibit high rates of chromosome loss or gain at each cell cycle. Over the years, a number of different mechanisms, including mitotic spindle multipolarity, cytokinesis ...

Calcineurin‐Dependent Stress Adaptation Enables Caspofungin Heteroresistance Leading to Stable Resistance in Candida Glabrata

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Caspofungin heteroresistance is prevalent in clinical Candida glabrata isolates and depends on calcineurin‐mediated stress adaptation. This transient phenotype serves as a reservoir for resistance evolution, enabling the emergence of stable resistant descendants under prolonged drug pressure.

Condensin II resolves chromosomal associations to enable anaphase I segregation in Drosophila male meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2008
Several meiotic processes ensure faithful chromosome segregation to create haploid gametes. Errors to any one of these processes can lead to zygotic aneuploidy with the potential for developmental abnormalities.

Detection of Ultrafine Anaphase Bridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) are thin DNA threads linking the separating sister chromatids in the anaphase of mitosis. UFBs are thought to form when topological DNA entanglements between two chromatids are not resolved prior to anaphase onset.

A Bright Ratiometric Dipyrene Probe for Functional Imaging of Condensate Microenvironments in Living Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ratiometric dipyrene imaging resolves monomer (M) and excimer (E) channels and computes pixel‐wise E/M maps within biomolecular condensates, yielding physicochemical fingerprints shaped by coupled polarity‐related solvation and microviscosity. These spatial fingerprints enable quantitative phenotyping of cellular states, exemplified by separation of ...

Meiotic behavior of small chromosomes in maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
The typical behavior of chromosomes in meiosis is that homologous pairs synapse, recombine and then separate at anaphase I. At anaphase II, sister chromatids separate.
