Mosaic origin of the eukaryotic kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
SignificanceEukaryotes, which include diverse species like animals, fungi, and plants, have cells that are fundamentally more complex than prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria. However, eukaryotes did evolve from prokaryotes, so they must have acquired this cellular complexity after they diverged from prokaryotes.

Diagnostic Yield of Genome Sequencing Versus Exome Sequencing in Pediatric Patients With Rare Phenotypes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rare diseases affect 6% of Western societies and are a leading cause of pediatric mortality. The popularization of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, especially exome sequencing (ES), revolutionized the diagnosis of children with rare disease. Still, most patients face extensive diagnostic odysseys and remain undiagnosed.

The roles of kinetochore of micronucleus in mitosis of HeLa cells: a live cell imaging study

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2019
Background Micronuclei (MNi) are extensively used to evaluate genotoxic effects and chromosome instability. However, the roles of kinetochore of MN in mitosis have not been completely addressed.

Prime movers : mechanochemistry of mitotic kinesins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mitotic spindles are self-organizing protein machines that harness teams of multiple force generators to drive chromosome segregation. Kinesins are key members of these force-generating teams.

Establishment of the vertebrate kinetochores [PDF]

open access: yesChromosome Research, 2012
The centromere is essential for accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis to achieve transmission of genetic information to daughter cells. To facilitate accurate chromosome segregation, the centromere serves several specific functions, including microtubule binding, spindle-checkpoint control, and sister chromatid cohesion.

Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing by Cell‐Free DNA (cfNIPT) for Detecting Turner Syndrome With Mosaicism and Structural Variants—Prenatal Findings and Postnatal Outcomes

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner Syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosomal disorder associated with karyotype heterogeneity. Although TS can be associated with severe prenatal findings, most often linked to the 45, X karyotype, the majority of TS fetuses have no overt phenotype, resulting in delayed diagnosis and management.

Chromosome segregation in plant meiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis is essential for ploidy stability over sexual life cycles. In plants, defective chromosome segregation caused by gene mutations or other factors leads to the formation of unbalanced or unreduced gametes creating

Kinetochore microtubules shorten by loss of subunits at the kinetochores of prometaphase chromosomes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 1991
ABSTRACT The site of tubulin subunit dissociation was determined during poleward chromosome movement in prometaphase newt lung cell mitotic spindles using fluorescence photobleaching techniques and nocodazole-induced spindle shortening.

Comparative analysis of short‐term and long‐term LL‐37‐induced rosacea‐like mouse models: Histopathological features and inflammatory immune responses

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The aim of this study was to improve the long‐term LL‐37 mouse model and compare the disease manifestations and pathophysiology of short‐term and long‐term LL‐37‐induced rosacea‐like models. The results show that the long‐term LL‐37 induced mouse model provides a practical animal model for further study of the pathological mechanism of severe rosacea ...

EB1 regulates attachment of Ska1 with microtubules by forming extended structures on the microtubule lattice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Ska1 is a kinetochore-localised protein that couples kinetochore movement to microtubule (MT) depolymerisation. Here Thomas et al. show that the MT +TIP binding protein EB1 recruits Ska1 to the MT-kinetochore interface and stabilises the interaction ...
