Role for polo-like kinase 4 in mediation of cytokinesis. [PDF]
, 2019 The mitotic protein polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) plays a critical role in centrosome duplication for cell division. By using immunofluorescence, we confirm that PLK4 is localized to centrosomes.

A YAP/TAZ–CDC6 Axis Initiates and Maintains Malignant Transformation
Cancer Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that constitutive activation of YAP or TAZ is sufficient to induce and maintain malignant transformation in fibroblasts, identifying them as essential oncogenic drivers. Transcriptomic and functional analyses revealed CDC6 as a critical downstream effector of YAP/TAZ, with elevated expression linked to tumorigenesis across ...

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

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.The micropeptide altH19 interacts with phosphorylated CDK2 (p‐CDK2), subsequently activating CDK2 phosphorylation. This enhances the downstream E2F1 target gene RB activity, which accelerates DNA replication, ultimately leading to rapid myeloma cell mitosis and proliferation.

Mad2, Bub3, and Mps1 regulate chromosome segregation and mitotic synchrony in Giardia intestinalis, a binucleate protist lacking an anaphase-promoting complex. [PDF]
, 2014 The binucleate pathogen Giardia intestinalis is a highly divergent eukaryote with a semiopen mitosis, lacking an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and many of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) proteins.

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.

Meier–Gorlin syndrome and Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome: two developmental disorders highlighting the importance of efficient DNA replication for normal development and neurogenesis [PDF]
, 2013 Microcephaly represents one of the most obvious clinical manifestations of impaired neurogenesis. Defects in the DNA damage response, in DNA repair, and structural abnormalities in centrosomes, centrioles and the spindle microtubule network have all been

Polo‐like kinases and UV‐induced skin carcinogenesis: What we know and what's next
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.The polo‐like kinase (PLK) family plays distinct and critical roles in the regulation of cell cycle progression, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various cancers. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a well‐established environmental factor in the development of skin cancer.

PR-Set7 is Degraded in a Conditional Cul4A Transgenic Mouse Model of Lung Cancer. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundMaintenance of genomic integrity is essential to ensure normal organismal development and to prevent diseases such as cancer. PR-Set7 (also known as Set8) is a cell cycle regulated enzyme that catalyses monomethylation of histone 4 at Lys20 ...

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is the main etiologic driver of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), which are the most prevalent types of cancers in the US. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Polo‐like kinase 4 (PLK4) is overexpressed in NMSCs ...
