Polar Ejection Forces Promote the Conversion from Lateral to End-on Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachments on Mono-oriented Chromosomes

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Chromosome bi-orientation occurs after conversion of initial lateral attachments between kinetochores and spindle microtubules into stable end-on attachments near the cell equator. After bi-orientation, chromosomes experience tension from spindle forces,

Comprehensive genomic profiling of mucosal melanoma reveals novel fusion transcripts and dysregulation of cell‐cycle, MAPK, and PI3K pathways

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mucosal melanomas (MMs) are rare, aggressive cancers with poor outcomes and limited response to standard therapies. A significant knowledge gap exists regarding their genomic landscape and corresponding druggable targets. This study explores this issue through a multi‐omic analysis, including whole exome‐, RNA‐, and targeted sequencing, of ...

Differential FGFR1 copy number status displays unique tumour immune microenvironment in triple‐negative breast cancer

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) amplification, a significant cancer alteration with both prognostic and therapeutic relevance, lacks a standardized definition. The relationship between FGFR1 copy number (CN) variations and tumour microenvironment (TME) characteristics also remains poorly understood.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinetochore

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1996
Accurate chromosome segregation is DApenDAnt on a specialized chromosomal structure, the kinetochore/centromere. The only essential constituent of the S. cerevisiae kinetochore established today is CBF3, a multisubunit complex that binds to S. cerevisiae centromere DNA.

Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Fin1-PP1 Helps Clear Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Protein Bub1 from Kinetochores in Anaphase

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Summary: The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) monitors chromosome attachment defects, and the assembly of SAC proteins at kinetochores is essential for its activation, but the SAC disassembly process remains unknown.

Kinetochore Malfunction in Human Pathologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The cell cycle culminates in mitosis with the purpose of dividing the cell's DNA content equally over two daughter cells. Error-free segregation relies on correct connections between chromosomes and spindle microtubules.

Transposons as Tools for Future Genome Engineering in Yeasts and Filamentous Fungi

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
Applications of transposon‐based tools for genome engineering in fungi include transposon‐mediated mutagenesis and targeted genomic integration. ABSTRACT Transposons are fundamental genetic elements that have profoundly shaped the architecture of eukaryotic genomes.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
