Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

Super-Resolution Mapping of Neuronal Circuitry With an Index-Optimized Clearing Agent

Cell Reports, 2016
Super-resolution imaging deep inside tissues has been challenging, as it is extremely sensitive to light scattering and spherical aberrations. Here, we report an optimized optical clearing agent for high-resolution fluorescence imaging (SeeDB2).

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 ...

ATZ‐1 promotes DNA replication efficiency to maintain normal meiotic function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Absence of ATZ‐1 interferes with meiotic DNA replication and cell cycle function via CHK‐1. This causes downstream defects associated with DNA damage and genomic integrity. Taken together, this study suggests that ATZ‐1 influences DNA replication efficiency and cell cycle function to maintain normal meiotic function.

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

MPS1 promotes timely spindle bipolarization to prevent kinetochore-microtubule attachment errors in oocytes

The EMBO Journal
Incorrect kinetochore–microtubule attachment leads to chromosome segregation errors. The risk of incorrect attachment is high in acentrosomal oocytes, where kinetochores are surrounded by randomly oriented microtubules until spindle bipolarization ...

Random Chromosome Partitioning in the Polyploid Bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Little is known about chromosome segregation in polyploid prokaryotes. In this study, whether stringent or variable chromosome segregation occurs in polyploid thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus was analyzed.

Bub1 autophosphorylation feeds back to regulate kinetochore docking and promote localized substrate phosphorylation [PDF]

, 2015
During mitosis, Bub1 kinase phosphorylates histone H2A-T120 to promote centromere sister chromatid cohesion through recruitment of shugoshin (Sgo) proteins. The regulation and dynamics of H2A-T120 phosphorylation are poorly understood. Using quantitative

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.

Depletion or cleavage of cohesin during anaphase differentially affects chromatin structure and segregation

eLife, 2022
Chromosome segregation requires both the separation of sister chromatids and the sustained condensation of chromatids during anaphase. In yeast cells, cohesin is not only required for sister chromatid cohesion but also plays a major role determining the ...
