A time out for CENP-A

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
Proper chromosome segregation relies on a functional centromere–kinetochore interface. We showed that chromatin containing CENtromere Protein A (CENP-A) is essential for centromere assembly, but dispensable for chromosome segregation in the presence of ...

Methylated histones on mitotic chromosomes promote topoisomerase IIα function for high fidelity chromosome segregation

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: DNA Topoisomerase IIα (TopoIIα) decatenates sister chromatids, allowing their segregation in mitosis. Without the TopoIIα Strand Passage Reaction (SPR), chromosome bridges and ultra-fine DNA bridges (UFBs) arise in anaphase.

Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and cultivated carrot and used it to ...

Triazine‐Trione Thermosets with High Processability for Scaffold Applications in Bone Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Novel photo‐clickable triazine‐trione thermosets can be shaped and cured under mild conditions, including room and physiological temperatures. These materials are biocompatible and support osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells on their surface.

Fission yeast neddylation ligase Dcn1 facilitates cohesin cleavage and chromosome segregation at anaphase

open access: yesBiology Open, 2017
Post-translational protein modification such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination are critical during mitosis to ensure proper timing and progression of chromosome segregation.

Evolutionary dynamics of adult stem cells: Comparison of random and immortal strand segregation mechanisms

open access: yes, 2004
This paper develops a point-mutation model describing the evolutionary dynamics of a population of adult stem cells. Such a model may prove useful for quantitative studies of tissue aging and the emergence of cancer.

Bacterial chromosome segregation.

open access: yesActa Biochimica Polonica, 2005
In most bacteria two vital processes of the cell cycle: DNA replication and chromosome segregation overlap temporally. The action of replication machinery in a fixed location in the cell leads to the duplication of oriC regions, their rapid separation to the opposite halves of the cell and the duplicated chromosomes gradually moving to the same ...

Chromosome segregation machinery and cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Science, 2009
Loss or gain of chromosomes is associated with many cancer cells. This property, called chromosome instability, might arise from a lesion in the chromosome segregation machinery. Essential for chromosome segregation are the proper connection of microtubules to kinetochores, and the synchronous segregation of sister chromatids in anaphase.

Two‐Photon 3D Printing of Functional Microstructures Inside Living Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates 3D printing inside living cells by using two‐photon photo‐lithography. A bio‐compatible photoresist is injected into cells and selectively polymerized with a femtosecond laser, creating custom‐shaped intracellular structures with submicron resolution.

Tension can directly suppress Aurora B kinase-triggered release of kinetochore-microtubule attachments

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Tension stabilizes properly attached microtubules to kinetochores during chromosome segregation, and lack of tension leads to release. Here the authors show that tension directly suppresses Aurora B kinase mediated destabilization of reconstituted ...
