Segregation but Not Replication of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Chromosome Terminates at Dif

mBio, 2018
Coordination between chromosome replication and segregation is essential for equal partitioning of genetic material between daughter cells. In bacteria, this is achieved through the proximity of the origin of replication, oriC, and the chromosome ...

Resolving Chromosome Segregation in Bacteria

Microbial Physiology, 2006
Bacterial chromosomes are evenly distributed between daughter cells, however no equivalent eukaryotic mitotic apparatus has been identified yet. Nevertheless, an advance in our understanding of the dynamics of the bacterial chromosome has been accomplished in recent years by adopting fluorescence microscopy techniques to visualize living bacterial ...

Dynamic distribution of SeqA protein across the chromosome of Escherichia coli K-12 [PDF]

, 2010
The bacterial SeqA protein binds to hemi-methylated GATC sequences that arise in newly synthesized DNA upon passage of the replication machinery. In Escherichia coli K-12, the single replication origin oriC is a well-characterized target for SeqA, which ...

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Chromosome Segregation: Seeing Is Believing [PDF]

Current Biology, 2005
For chromosome segregation in mitosis, each centromere directs assembly of a complex, proteinaceous structure - the kinetochore, which connects the chromosome to microtubules of the mitotic spindle. A recent study has provided important new insights into the mechanism by which kinetochores capture spindle microtubules.

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

Evidence of substrate control of Cdk phosphorylation during the budding yeast cell cycle

Cell Reports
Summary: A series of sequential events orchestrates cell growth and division, set in motion by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). In the “qualitative model” for Cdk control, order is achieved by cell cycle stage-specific cyclins.

Kinetochore component function in C. elegans oocytes revealed by 4D tracking of holocentric chromosomes

Nature Communications, 2023
During cell division, chromosome congression to the spindle center, their orientation along the spindle long axis and alignment at the metaphase plate depend on interactions between spindle microtubules and kinetochores, and are pre-requisite for ...

Chromosome Segregation: Reconstituting the Kinetochore [PDF]

Current Biology, 2016
Faithful chromosome segregation is accomplished by attachment of chromosomes to spindle microtubules using the kinetochore. In a major step forward in understanding the functional and structural complexity of kinetochores, a 21-subunit human centromere - kinetochore complex has been reconstituted entirely from purified components, recreating the ...
