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

Deregulated enhancer‐promoter communication in cancer through altered nuclear architecture
Abstract Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression. Structural variations in cancer genomes can lead to enhancer hijacking, where oncogenes are activated by mistargeted enhancer activity. Novel enhancer‐promoter interactions may also arise through chromosomal rearrangements that create extrachromosomal DNA elements.

Astrin-SKAP complex reconstitution reveals its kinetochore interaction with microtubule-bound Ndc80
Chromosome segregation requires robust interactions between the macromolecular kinetochore structure and dynamic microtubule polymers. A key outstanding question is how kinetochore-microtubule attachments are modulated to ensure that bi-oriented ...

Phosphorylation of CENP-A on serine 7 does not control centromere function [PDF]
CENP-A is the histone H3 variant necessary to specify the location of all eukaryotic centromeres via its CENP-A targeting domain and either one of its terminal regions.

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Molecular analysis of core kinetochore composition and assembly in Drosophila melanogaster.
BackgroundKinetochores are large multiprotein complexes indispensable for proper chromosome segregation. Although Drosophila is a classical model organism for studies of chromosome segregation, little is known about the organization of its kinetochores ...

FHY3/FAR1 transposable elements generate adaptive genetic variation in the Bassia scoparia genome
FHY3/FAR1 are active transposable elements and are involved with the formation of genomic structural variants that cause glyphosate resistance in Bassia scoparia. Abstract BACKGROUND A nearly complete genome assembly consisting of 14 scaffolds, a total length of 969.6 Mb, and an N50 scaffold length of 99.88 Mb, was generated to better understand how ...

The final systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) progression prediction model was composed of 6 significant risk factors: male, type 2 diabetes mellitus, pericardial effusion, anti‐Ro52, hypoproteinemia, and elevated C‐reactive protein. Our model demonstrated excellent prognostic utility.
