An extrinsic motor directs chromatin loop formation by cohesin

The EMBO Journal
The ring-shaped cohesin complex topologically entraps two DNA molecules to establish sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesin also shapes the interphase chromatin landscape with wide-ranging implications for gene regulation, and cohesin is thought to achieve ...

Multimodal effects of small molecule ROCK and LIMK inhibitors on mitosis, and their implication as anti-leukemia agents. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Accurate chromosome segregation is vital for cell viability. Many cancer cells show chromosome instability (CIN) due to aberrant expression of the genes involved in chromosome segregation.

PRC2.1 Coordinates Peri‐Nucleolar H3K27me3‐Enriched Heterochromatin Organization and NPM1 Pentamerization to Maintain Nucleolar Integrity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PRC2.1(PCL2)‐coordinated H3K27me3‐enriched PNH establishes a spatial scaffold crucial for nucleolar integrity. As a crucial coordinator, PCL2 links PRC2.1 to chromatin organization and NPM1 assembly. This network‐based model reveals how chromatin modifications and nucleolar components cooperatively maintain nucleolar architecture, revealing novel ...

Dynamic blebbing and absence of organelle transfer during mouse oocyte formation

The EMBO Journal
Oocyte formation in mammals is a tightly regulated process essential for female fertility, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we establish an ex vivo culture system that faithfully recapitulates in vivo development and

Mitochondria and Neuromast Tagging With Fluorescent Gallium‐Triapine Analogues: In Cellulo MP FLIM and Zebrafish Live Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent BODIPY‐conjugated thiosemicarbazone ligands and their Ga(III), In(III), and Fe(III) complexes, inspired by Triapine, are developed as theranostic agents. Multiphoton FLIM and confocal microscopy in cancer cells and zebrafish reveal real‐time uptake, mitochondrial localisation, and whilst spectroscopic assays indicated preserved complex ...

TSPYL5 Promotes Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Metastasis by Antagonizing USP10‐Mediated PTEN Stabilization to Unleash a ZEB1‐Dependent EMT Program

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The hyperactivation of PI3K/AKT signaling in PTEN wild‐type triple‐negative breast cancer represents a clinical paradox. We delineate a novel post‐translational regulatory axis wherein the oncogene TSPYL5 competitively antagonizes the deubiquitinase USP10.

Unique Function of the Bacterial Chromosome Segregation Machinery in Apically Growing Streptomyces - Targeting the Chromosome to New Hyphal Tubes and its Anchorage at the Tips.

PLoS Genetics, 2016
The coordination of chromosome segregation with cell growth is fundamental to the proliferation of any organism. In most unicellular bacteria, chromosome segregation is strictly coordinated with cell division and involves ParA that moves the ParB ...

Chromosome Segregation: Disarming the Protector [PDF]

Current Biology, 2013
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.

Single‐Cell Dissection of Therapy‐Induced Remodeling Uncovers a Fibroblast‐Driven Immunosuppressive Niche and Targetable Vulnerabilities in Lethal Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell longitudinal profiling reveals that androgen‐deprivation therapy induces a DPT+ fibroblast‐complement axis that suppresses macrophage inflammation and drives CD8+ T cell exhaustion in prostate cancer. Concurrently, resistant epithelial subpopulations persist and engage TSPAN1‐ and NRXN1‐mediated programs promoting CRPC and neuroendocrine ...

A time out for CENP-A

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
Proper chromosome segregation relies on a functional centromere–kinetochore interface. We showed that chromatin containing CENtromere Protein A (CENP-A) is essential for centromere assembly, but dispensable for chromosome segregation in the presence of ...
