Chromosome Oscillations in Mitosis [PDF]

, 2005
Successful cell division requires a tight regulation of chromosome motion via the activity of molecular motors. Many of the key players at the origin of the forces generating the movement have been identified, but their spatial and temporal organization remains elusive.

Molecular dissection of condensin II-mediated chromosome assembly using in vitro assays

eLife, 2022
In vertebrates, condensin I and condensin II cooperate to assemble rod-shaped chromosomes during mitosis. Although the mechanism of action and regulation of condensin I have been studied extensively, our corresponding knowledge of condensin II remains ...

Targeting chromosome trisomy for chromosome editing [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
AbstractA trisomy is a type of aneuploidy characterised by an additional chromosome. The additional chromosome theoretically accepts any kind of changes since it is not necessary for cellular proliferation. This advantage led us to apply two chromosome manipulation methods to autosomal trisomy in chicken DT40 cells.

CRISPR-Cas9 effectors facilitate generation of single-sex litters and sex-specific phenotypes

Nature Communications, 2021
In areas such as animal research and agriculture a single sex is often required in abundance, leading to wasted resources and ethical considerations. Here the authors develop a CRISPR/Cas9 mediated synthetic lethal system that enables the production of ...

Cell cycle-specific loading of condensin I is regulated by the N-terminal tail of its kleisin subunit

eLife, 2022
Condensin I is a pentameric protein complex that plays an essential role in mitotic chromosome assembly in eukaryotic cells. Although it has been shown that condensin I loading is mitosis specific, it remains poorly understood how the robust cell cycle ...

Construction of stable mouse artificial chromosome from native mouse chromosome 10 for generation of transchromosomic mice

Scientific Reports, 2021
Mammalian artificial chromosomes derived from native chromosomes have been applied to biomedical research and development by generating cell sources and transchromosomic (Tc) animals.

Guiding functions of the C-terminal domain of topoisomerase IIα advance mitotic chromosome assembly

Nature Communications, 2021
Topoisomerase IIα (topo IIα) is critical for mitotic chromatid assembly. Here the authors report a refinement of the mitotic chromatid reconstitution assay and provide novel insights into the C-terminal domain (CTD) of topo IIα.

Mitotic DNA synthesis in response to replication stress requires the sequential action of DNA polymerases zeta and delta in human cells

Nature Communications, 2023
DNA replication stress can generate under-replicated DNA regions which is fixed by an atypical form of DNA repair synthesis in mitosis (MiDAS). Here the authors show that translesion and replicative DNA polymerases cooperate via the POLD3 subunit to ...

Different NIPBL requirements of cohesin-STAG1 and cohesin-STAG2

Nature Communications, 2023
NIPBL is considered the cohesin loader. Here, the authors report that a drastic reduction of NIPBL levels reduces chromatin-bound cohesin-STAG2 genome wide while cohesin-STAG1 increases and can still be found at CTCF-bound sites but cannot form loops.
