Cytokinesis Goes Polo [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2006
Temporal and spatial coordination of cytokinesis with chromosome segregation is key for successful cell division, but it is poorly understood. A recent article in Science by Pellman and coworkers (Yoshida et. al., 2006) reveals how the yeast polo-like kinase Cdc5 triggers Rho1/RhoA activation and the assembly of the contractile actin ring during ...

IncRNA‐ZFAS1, an Emerging Gate‐Keeper in DNA Damage‐Dependent Transcriptional Regulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
LncZFAS1 plays a crucial role during DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Loss of lncZFAS1 results in deficient DNA lesion removal and reduced cell viability. Mechanistically, lncZFAS1 modulates RNAPII phosphorylation and transcription and thereby promotes both GG‐NER and TC‐NER upon UV damage.

Cytokinesis: Regulated By Destruction [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2002
Important transitions in the cell cycle are regulated by ubiquitin-dependent degradation of specific proteins. Recent data indicate that cytokinesis is also regulated by proteolysis.

Targeting miRNA‐1a and miRNA‐15b: A Novel Combinatorial Strategy to Drive Adult Cardiac Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The article explores a novel therapeutic strategy for cardiac regeneration by targeting miRNA‐1a and miRNA‐15b. Combinatorial inhibition of miR‐1a and miR‐15b enhances cardiomyocyte proliferation, improves heart function, and reduces fibrosis in myocardial infarction models.

Cytokinesis: The Art of Partitioning [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2000
In higher plants, cytokinesis partitions the cytoplasm of a dividing cell by forming a new cell wall between the two sets of daughter chromosomes. Although conceptually simple, this process involves a sequence of well-orchestrated events, starting with the determination of the division plane ...

SMC4 Promotes Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis via the Rheb/mTOR Pathway

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Structural maintenance of chromosome protein 4 (SMC4) has been implicated in prostate cancer metastasis. Knockdown of SMC4 in RM1‐LM cells significantly attenuates proliferation, migration, and lung metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, SMC4 interacts with GLUT1 (Slc2a1), thereby enhancing glycolysis, ATP production, and activation of the Rheb/mTOR pathway.

Mechanics and regulation of cytokinesis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Cell Biology, 2004
Recent advances are revealing quantitative aspects of cytokinesis. Further, genetic analyses and cell imaging are providing insights into the molecular dynamics of cleavage furrow ingression as well as further refining our knowledge of the zones of the mitotic spindle that regulate the contractile properties of the overlying cortex. Ultimately, however,

PP2A Promotes the Symmetric Division of MUC1‐Dominant Cancer Stem‐Like Cells in Small Cell Lung Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
During the G2/M phase, mucin1 (MUC1) activates protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), leading to reduced phosphorylation of protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ) and NUMB, which promotes symmetric division and expansion of cancer stem‐like cells (CSLCs), thereby driving tumorigenesis. Combined inhibition of the MUC1–PP2A axis using LB100/GO203 with etoposide restores PKCζ

Role for polo-like kinase 4 in mediation of cytokinesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The mitotic protein polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) plays a critical role in centrosome duplication for cell division. By using immunofluorescence, we confirm that PLK4 is localized to centrosomes.

Molecular Mechanism of Cytokinesis [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 2019
Division of amoebas, fungi, and animal cells into two daughter cells at the end of the cell cycle depends on a common set of ancient proteins, principally actin filaments and myosin-II motors. Anillin, formins, IQGAPs, and many other proteins regulate the assembly of the actin filaments into a contractile ring positioned between the daughter nuclei by ...
