Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

The Ins and Outs of Aurora B Inner Centromere Localization
Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2017 Error-free chromosome segregation is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity during cell division. Aurora B, the enzymatic subunit of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex (CPC), plays a crucial role in this process.

Centromere-associated molecular events contribute to species diversification in fungal pathogens.
(a–e) Various molecular events involving centromeres leading to species diversification are depicted, with examples found among the fungal pathogens. (f) An evolutionary model for chromosomal fusion and centromere inactivation in the Malassezia species ...

Cell cycle dynamics of histone variants at the centromere, a model for chromosomal landmarks
, 2011 International audienceClassical heterochromatin chromosomal landmarks, such as centromeres and telomeres, are characterized by specific chromatin signatures. Among these, the incorporation of histone variants has recently emerged as an important feature.

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Natural populations of Marchantia polymorpha sampled across contrasting climatic regions show clear geographic differentiation between Europe and Japan based on polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) variation. Genome‐wide association (GWAS) analyses identified pSTR loci whose repeat‐length variation tracks temperature‐related WorldClim variables.

Temporal characterization of homology-independent centromere coupling in meiotic prophase.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundOver the past thirty years several reports of the pairing or association of non-homologous centromeres during meiotic prophase have appeared in the literature.

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Centromere Drive
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2018 The asymmetric outcome of female meiosis I, whereby an entire set of chromosomes are discarded into a polar body, presents an opportunity for selfish genetic elements to cheat the process and disproportionately segregate to the egg.
