Deciphering the modes of human separase inhibition by securin and CDK1-CCNB1
Accurate chromosome segregation depends on tight regulation of the protease separase, which cleaves the ring-shaped cohesin complex that entraps the two sister chromatids.

A complex role of Arabidopsis CDKD;3 in meiotic progression and cytokinesis
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that halves the number of chromosomes in two consecutive rounds of chromosome segregation. In angiosperm plants is meiosis followed by mitotic divisions to form rudimentary haploid gametophytes.

Inferring Compensatory Kinase Networks in Yeast using Prolog [PDF]
Signalling pathways are conserved across different species, therefore making yeast a model organism to study these via disruption of kinase activity. Yeast has 159 genes that encode protein kinases and phosphatases, and 136 of these have counterparts in humans.

Polo-like kinase 1 inhibits the activity of positive transcription elongation factor of RNA Pol II b (P-TEFb). [PDF]
Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a highly conserved Ser/Thr kinase in eukaryotes and plays a critical role in various aspects of the cell cycle. Plk1 exerts its multiple functions by phosphorylating its substrates.

CAPTURE of the Human U2 snRNA Genes Expands the Repertoire of Associated Factors
In order to identify factors involved in transcription of human snRNA genes and 3′ end processing of the transcripts, we have carried out CRISPR affinity purification in situ of regulatory elements (CAPTURE), which is deadCas9-mediated pull-down, of the ...

Cyclin-dependent kinase-specific activity predicts the prognosis of stage I and stage II non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Even with complete resection, the prognosis of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer is poor due to local and distant recurrence, and it remains unclear which biomarkers are

High efficient cyclic electron flow and functional supercomplexes in Chlamydomonas cells [PDF]
A very high rate for cyclic electron flow (CEF) around PSI (~180 s-1 or 210 s-1 in minimum medium or in the presence of a carbon source respectively) is measured in the presence of methyl viologen (MV) in intact cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under anaerobic conditions.

Phosphorylation of MCPH1 isoforms during mitosis followed by isoform‐specific degradation by APC/C‐CDH1 [PDF]
Microcephalin‐1 (MCPH1) exists as 2 isoforms that regulate cyclin‐dependent kinase‐1 activation and chromosome condensation during mitosis, with MCPH1 mutations causing primary microcephaly.

Cell cycle deregulation is common in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To ensure proper cell cycle controlling, cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) complexes are tightly regulated by CDK inhibitors (CKIs) in normal cells.
