X‐Linked Gene Dosage and SOX2 Act as Key Roadblocks for Human Germ Cell Specification in Klinefelter Syndrome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Klinefelter syndrome‐derived iPSCs provide an excellent model for studying X chromosome inactivation and functions of escapee genes during human primordial germ cell‐like cells differentiation process. Downregulation of three X‐linked genes—IGSF1, CHRDL1, and USP9X—significantly enhances the efficiency of hPGCLCs.

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 ...

Novel regulation of mitotic exit by the Cdc42 effectors Gic1 and Gic2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Copyright @ The Rockefeller University PressThe guanine nucleotide exchange factor Cdc24, the GTPase Cdc42, and the Cdc42 effectors Cla4 and Ste20, two p21-activated kinases, form a signal transduction cascade that promotes mitotic exit in yeast.

Chemotherapy‐Mediated Induction of PD‐L1 via SEI1 Facilitates Myeloma Immune Evasion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy induces DNA damage, activating cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)‐adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING), which phosphorylates interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) to drive SERTA‐containing domain 1 (SEI1) transcription.

Anaphase A: Disassembling Microtubules Move Chromosomes toward Spindle Poles

open access: yesBiology, 2017
The separation of sister chromatids during anaphase is the culmination of mitosis and one of the most strikingly beautiful examples of cellular movement.

Asymmetrical inheritance of plasmids depends on dynamic cellular geometry and volume exclusion effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The asymmetrical inheritance of plasmid DNA, as well as other cellular components, has been shown to be involved in replicative aging. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, there is an ongoing debate regarding the mechanisms underlying this important asymmetry. Currently proposed models suggest it is established via diffusion, but differ on whether a diffusion ...

Sperm‐Derived CircRNA‐1572 Regulates Embryogenesis and Zygotic Genome Activation by Targeting CCNB2 via Bta‐miR‐2478‐L‐2

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sperm‐derived circRNA‐1572 competitively binds to bta‐miR‐2478‐L‐2 through a “sponge” mechanism to regulate cyclin B2 (CCNB2) expression, thereby modulating the distribution of fibrous actin (F‐actin) in early pig embryos, ensuring proper chromosome segregation during mitosis, and facilitating normal embryo cleavage and zygotic genome activation.

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.

Holocentric Chromosomes of Luzula elegans Are Characterized by a Longitudinal Centromere Groove, Chromosome Bending, and a Terminal Nucleolus Organizer Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The structure of holocentric chromosomes was analyzed in mitotic cells of Luzula elegans. Light and scanning electron microscopy observations provided evidence for the existence of a longitudinal groove along each sister chromatid.
