Science Advances, 2022 Since the ancestors of modern humans separated from those of Neanderthals, around 100 amino acid substitutions spread to essentially all modern humans. The biological significance of these changes is largely unknown.

Nuclear chromosome locations dictate segregation error frequencies
Nature, 2022 Chromosome segregation errors during cell divisions generate aneuploidies and micronuclei, which can undergo extensive chromosomal rearrangements such as chromothripsis1–5. Selective pressures then shape distinct aneuploidy and rearrangement patterns—for

Functional crosstalk between the cohesin loader and chromatin remodelers
Nature Communications, 2022 Chromatin remodelers direct the cohesin loader to nucleosome depleted regions where cohesin accesses chromosomes. Muñoz et al. now show that the cohesin loader in turn is a biochemical activator of a chromatin remodeler, helping to clear ...

A Brownian ratchet model for DNA loop extrusion by the cohesin complex
eLife, 2021 The cohesin complex topologically encircles DNA to promote sister chromatid cohesion. Alternatively, cohesin extrudes DNA loops, thought to reflect chromatin domain formation. Here, we propose a structure-based model explaining both activities.

The large cytoplasmic volume of oocyte
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022 The study of the size of cells and organelles has a long history, dating back to the 1600s when cells were defined. In particular, various methods have elucidated the size of the nucleus and the mitotic spindle in several species.

Spatially and temporally defined lysosomal leakage facilitates mitotic chromosome segregation
Nature Communications, 2020 Lysosomes are membrane-surrounded cytoplasmic organelles filled with a powerful cocktail of hydrolases. Besides degrading cellular constituents inside the lysosomal lumen, lysosomal hydrolases promote tissue remodeling when delivered to the extracellular

Chromosome segregation in Eubacteria [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003 It is now clear that bacterial chromosomes rapidly separate in a manner independent of cell elongation, suggesting the existence of a mitotic apparatus in bacteria. Recent studies of bacterial cells reveal filamentous structures similar to the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, proteins that mediate polar chromosome anchoring during Bacillus subtilis sporulation,

Genome Biology, 2020 Background Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes are central organizers of chromatin architecture throughout the cell cycle. The SMC family member condensin is best known for establishing long-range chromatin interactions in mitosis ...

Developmental Cell, 2002 During mitosis, in most eukaryotes, cohesin is removed from chromosomes in two steps. A paper in the March issue of Molecular Cell identifies Polo-like kinase as a key regulator for the first step that releases much of cohesin during prophase.
