Human Ska complex and Ndc80 complex interact to form a load-bearing assembly that strengthens kinetochore–microtubule attachments

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Microtubules are dynamic, tube-like structures that drive the segregation of duplicated chromosomes during cell division. The Ska complex is part of a molecular machine that forms force-bearing connections between chromosomes and microtubule

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Quantitative Analysis of Kinetochore Protein Levels and Inter-Kinetochore Distances in Mammalian Cells During Mitosis

open access: yesBio-Protocol
The mammalian kinetochore is a multi-layered protein complex that forms on the centromeric chromatin. The kinetochore serves as the attachment hub for the plus ends of microtubules emanating from the centrosomes during mitosis.

Recent Progress on the Localization of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Machinery to Kinetochores

open access: yesCells, 2019
Faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis is crucial for maintaining genome stability. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is a surveillance mechanism that ensures accurate mitotic progression.

Aurora A kinase phosphorylates Hec1 to regulate metaphase kinetochore–microtubule dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2018
Precise regulation of kinetochore–microtubule attachments is essential for successful chromosome segregation. Central to this regulation is Aurora B kinase, which phosphorylates kinetochore substrates to promote microtubule turnover. A critical target of

Loss of APC induces polyploidy as a result of a combination of defects in mitosis and apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene initiate a majority of colorectal cancers. Acquisition of chromosomal instability is an early event in these tumors.

LOXHD1 and RHOB Expression by Monocytes Predicts Progressive Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective A leading cause of death among scleroderma (SSc) patients, interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging to prognosticate. The discovery of biomarkers that accurately determine which patients would benefit from close monitoring and aggressive therapy would be an essential clinical tool.

Enrichment of Aurora B kinase at the inner kinetochore controls outer kinetochore assembly

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2019
In mitosis, the outer kinetochore is assembled to signal the spindle assembly checkpoint and to attach chromosomes to spindle microtubules. Bonner et al.

Molecular mechanisms facilitating the initial kinetochore encounter with spindle microtubules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The initial kinetochore encounter with a spindle microtubule (kinetochore capture) is one of the rate-limiting steps in establishing proper kinetochore–microtubule interaction during mitosis. Kinetochore capture is facilitated by multiple factors such as

MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL TREATMENT REDUCES THE RISK OF TREATMENT ESCALATION DUE TO VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN LIMITED CUTANEOUS SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS: EMULATION OF A TARGET TRIAL FROM ITALIAN RHEUMATOLOGY SOCIETY SPRING REGISTRY

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon due to the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of the vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.
