Oocyte meiosis must achieve spindle bipolarization without predefined spatial cues. Yoshida et al. demonstrate that spindle bipolarization during meiosis I in mouse oocytes requires kinetochores to prevent chromosome segregation errors, a phenomenon that

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.

The condensin complex is required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in Xenopus egg extracts. [PDF]
Chromosome condensation is required for the physical resolution and segregation of sister chromatids during cell division, but the precise role of higher order chromatin structure in mitotic chromosome functions is unclear.

The ability to visualise specific genes and proteins within bacterial cells is revolutionising knowledge of chromosome segregation. The essential elements appear to be the driving force behind DNA replication, which occurs at fixed cellular positions, the condensation of newly replicated DNA by a chromosome condensation machine located at the cell 1/4 ...

Errors in chromosome segregation during oogenesis and early embryogenesis [PDF]
Errors in chromosome segregation occurring during human oogenesis and early embryogenesis are very common. Meiotic chromosome development during oogenesis is subdivided into three distinct phases.

A global view of substrate phosphorylation and dephosphorylation during budding yeast mitotic exit
The cell cycle is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA during S-phase and divides its chromosomes during M-phase, creating two genetically identical daughter cells.

SMC is recruited to oriC by ParB and promotes chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Segregation of replicated chromosomes is an essential process in all organisms. How bacteria, such as the oval-shaped human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, efficiently segregate their chromosomes is poorly understood.

Chromosome Segregation: Disarming the Protector [PDF]
One of the key features of meiosis is that shugoshin in complex with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) protects centromeric cohesin during meiosis I, but not during meiosis II. A new model suggests that a PP2A inhibitor mediates deprotection of centromeric cohesin during meiosis II.

From Effective Interactions Extracted Using Hi-C Data to Chromosome Structures in Conventional and Inverted Nuclei [PDF]
Contact probabilities between loci, separated by arbitrary genomic distance, for a number of cell types have been reported using genome-wide chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) experiments. How to extract the effective interaction energies between active euchromatin (A) and inactive heterochromatin (B) directly from the experimental data, without an

Bacterial chromosome segregation
Dividing cells have mechanisms to ensure that their genomes are faithfully segregated into daughter cells. In bacteria, the description of these mechanisms has been considerably improved in the recent years. This review focuses on the different aspects of bacterial chromosome segregation that can be understood thanks to the studies performed with model
