Localization of MLH3 at the Centrosomes [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014
Mutations in human DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes are commonly associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). MLH1 protein heterodimerizes with PMS2, PMS1, and MLH3 to form MutLα, MutLβ, and MutLγ, respectively. We reported recently stable expression of GFP-linked MLH3 in human cell lines.

Immunofluorescence-based Determination of Centrosome Number in Tissue Samples

Bio-Protocol, 2019
Centrosome numerical abnormalities have been reported in a variety of tumors. Centrosome numbers in cancer cells display both inter-tumor and intra-tumor heterogeneity.

Centrosomes: Hooked on the Nucleus [PDF]

Current Biology, 2004
A recent study has shown that the Hook protein ZYG-12 of Caenorhabditis elegans is essential for attachment of the centrosome to the nucleus. The results suggest a novel mechanism for the tight coupling between these two organelles, and shed new light on its biological significance.

Inhibition of RACK1‐Mediated NLRP3 Oligomerization (Active Conformation) Ameliorates Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the potential mechanism of bigelovin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome Bigelovin may inhibit activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1) by directly binding with cys168 of RACK1. Bigelovin thus prevents oligomerization of NLRP3 (NLRP3 active conformation) and subsequent assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, blocking the activation of

Tau-tubulin kinase 2 restrains microtubule-depolymerizer KIF2A to support primary cilia growth

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Primary cilia facilitate cellular signalling and play critical roles in development, homeostasis, and disease. Their assembly is under the control of Tau-Tubulin Kinase 2 (TTBK2), a key enzyme mutated in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia ...

Centrosomal protein 120 promotes centrosome amplification and gastric cancer progression via USP54-mediated deubiquitination of PLK4

iScience, 2023
Summary: Centrosomal protein 120 (CEP120) is a 120 kDa centrosome protein that plays an important role in centrosome replication. Overexpression of CEP120 can lead to centrosome duplicate abnormality, which is closely associated with tumorigenesis and ...

Influence of M-phase chromatin on the anisotropy of microtubule asters [PDF]

, 1996
In many eukaryotic cells going through M-phase, a bipolar spindle is formed by microtubules nucleated from centrosomes. These microtubules, in addition to being "captured" by kinetochores, may be stabilized by chromatin in two different ways: short-range

CCDC102B functions in centrosome linker assembly and centrosome cohesion [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2018
ABSTRACT The proteinaceous centrosome linker is an important structure that allows the centrosome to function as a single microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) in interphase cells. However, the assembly mechanism of the centrosome linker components remains largely unknown.

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

Spatial cytoskeleton organization supports targeted intracellular transport [PDF]

Biophys. J. 114 (2018) 1420-1432, 2017
The efficiency of intracellular cargo transport from specific source to target locations is strongly dependent upon molecular motor-assisted motion along the cytoskeleton. Radial transport along microtubules and lateral transport along the filaments of the actin cortex underneath the cell membrane are characteristic for cells with a centrosome.
