Cdt1 degradation to prevent DNA re-replication: conserved and non-conserved pathways
In eukaryotes, DNA replication is strictly regulated so that it occurs only once per cell cycle. The mechanisms that prevent excessive DNA replication are focused on preventing replication origins from being reused within the same cell cycle.

Geminin-Cdt1 plays essential roles in the regulation of DNA replication. Here the authors reveal that the CULLIN3 E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor protein SPOP prevents DNA replication over-firing and genome instability by affecting Geminin ubiquitination.

Dynamic recruitment of licensing factor Cdt1 to sites of DNA damage [PDF]
For genomic integrity to be maintained, the cell cycle and DNA damage responses must be linked. Cdt1, a G1-specific cell-cycle factor, is targeted for proteolysis by the Cul4-Ddb1Cdt2 ubiquitin ligase following DNA damage. Using a laser nanosurgery microscope to generate spatially restricted DNA damage within the living cell nucleus, we show that Cdt1 ...

Direct binding of Cdt2 to PCNA is important for targeting the CRL4 Cdt2 E3 ligase activity to Cdt1
The C-terminal end of Cdt2 contains a PIP box for binding to PCNA to promote CRL4 Cdt2 function, creating a new paradigm where the substrate receptor and substrates bind to a common multivalent docking platform for ubiquitination. The CRL4 Cdt2 ubiquitin

The Impact of Deleting Stem-Loop 1 of Epstein–Barr Virus-Encoded RNA 1 on Cell Proliferation
Epstein–Barr virus-encoded RNAs (EBERs) are two small, noncoding, structurally conserved transcripts, constitutively expressed at >106 copies per EBV-infected cell. They have been shown to drive cell growth.

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Gene amplifications in amphibians and flies are known to occur during development and have been well characterized, unlike in mammalian cells, where they are predominantly investigated as an attribute of tumors.

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Modulation of Mcm2–7 activity by Cdt1
Genome duplication occurs once and only once in each cell cycle. During G1 phase, pre‐replicative complexes (pre‐RC), composed of ORC, Cdc6, Cdt1 and Mcm2–7, are assembled at replication origins. Mcm2–7 is the replicative helicase in eukaryotic cells; however, it does not unwind DNA in the pre‐RC.

Kinetochore–microtubule coupling mechanisms mediated by the Ska1 complex and Cdt1
Abstract The faithful segregation of duplicated sister chromatids rely on the remarkable ability of kinetochores to sustain stable load bearing attachments with the dynamic plus ends of kinetochore–microtubules (kMTs). The outer layer of the kinetochore recruits several motor and non-motor microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that help
