Errors in chromosome segregation during oogenesis and early embryogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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.

Chromosome segregation in Eubacteria [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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,

Structure of the cohesin loader Scc2

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
The cohesin complex maintains genome integrity by ensuring correct sister-chromatid segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Here, Chaoet al. present a pseudo-atomic model of the full-length Scc2–Scc4 cohesin loader complex and reveal key Scc2 surfaces ...

Securin Is Not Required for Chromosomal Stability in Human Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Abnormalities of chromosome number are frequently observed in cancers. The mechanisms regulating chromosome segregation in human cells are therefore of great interest.

Bacterial chromosome segregation

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience, 2012
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

Chromosome Segregation Errors Generate a Diverse Spectrum of Simple and Complex Genomic Rearrangements

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2019
Cancer genomes are frequently characterized by numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities. Here we integrated a centromere-specific inactivation approach with selection for a conditionally essential gene, a strategy termed CEN-SELECT, to ...

Chromosome segregation impacts on cell growth and division site selection in Corynebacterium glutamicum. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Spatial and temporal regulation of bacterial cell division is imperative for the production of viable offspring. In many rod-shaped bacteria, regulatory systems such as the Min system and nucleoid occlusion ensure the high fidelity of midcell divisome ...

The condensin complex is required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in Xenopus egg extracts. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
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.

Cdc14 and PP2A Phosphatases Cooperate to Shape Phosphoproteome Dynamics during Mitotic Exit

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Temporal control over protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is crucial for accurate chromosome segregation and for completion of the cell division cycle during exit from mitosis. In budding yeast, the Cdc14 phosphatase is thought to be a

Structural plasticity of the living kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The kinetochore is a large, evolutionarily conserved protein structure that connects chromosomes with microtubules. During chromosome segregation, outer kinetochore components track depolymerizing ends of microtubules to facilitate the separation of ...
