In Vitro Kinetochore Assembly [PDF]

, 2016
The kinetochore is the primary site of interaction between chromosomes and microtubules of the mitotic spindle during chromosome segregation. Kinetochores are composed of more than 100 proteins that transiently assemble during mitosis at a single epigenetically defined region on each chromosome, known as the centromere.

De Novo Complex Genomic Rearrangement Spanning 2q31.1 in a Proband With Congenital Malformations: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation and Development of a CGR Detection Pipeline

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2q31 region is commonly associated with pathogenic alleles of the HOXD cluster leading to various clinical phenotypes related to skeletal development. We present a proband with tetralogy of Fallot and multiple congenital anomalies. Genomic variant screening including an in‐house CGR detection pipeline pairing genome sequencing (GS ...

Kinetochore dynein is sufficient to biorient chromosomes and remodel the outer kinetochore

Nature Communications
Multiple microtubule-directed activities concentrate on mitotic chromosomes to ensure their faithful segregation. These include couplers and dynamics regulators localized at the kinetochore, the microtubule interface built on centromeric chromatin, as ...

Phosphorylation of Sli15 by Ipl1 is important for proper CPC localization and chromosome stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 2014
The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) is a key regulator of eukaryotic cell division, consisting of the protein kinase Aurora B/Ipl1 in association with its activator (INCENP/Sli15) and two additional proteins (Survivin/Bir1 and Borealin/Nbl1). Here we

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

Immune Complexes Shape the Pathogenicity of Autoantibodies in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: Insights From an FcγRIIIA‐Reporter Assay

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Immune complexes (ICs), formed by autoantigen and autoantibody, play a pathogenic role in systemic autoimmune diseases through stimulation of Fcγ receptors (FcγR). However, studies investigating bioactivity of circulating ICs across various diseases remain limited.

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting the Tubulin Post‐Translational Modifications Glutamylation and Lysine‐40 Acetylation

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...

BUB-1 promotes amphitelic chromosome biorientation via multiple activities at the kinetochore

eLife, 2018
Accurate chromosome segregation relies on bioriented amphitelic attachments of chromosomes to microtubules of the mitotic spindle, in which sister chromatids are connected to opposite spindle poles.

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.
