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

open access: yesCytoskeleton, 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.

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

PharmVar GeneFocus: NAT2—Genetic Variation and Updated Nomenclature

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) provides nomenclature for the highly polymorphic human N‐acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene. NAT2 metabolizes several clinically used drugs including isoniazid, hydralazine, amifampridine, procainamide, and sulfonamides such as dapsone, and also some highly carcinogenic arylamines.

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.

Imaging Flow Cytometry Detection of Cytogenetic Abnormalities in Circulating CD34+ Cells Predicts Leukemic Transformation in Myelofibrosis

open access: yesCytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm with potential to transform to acute myeloid leukemia. This evolution is unpredictable and current assays lack the sensitivity and applicability needed to predict this transformation. While population‐level data utilizing comprehensive genomic profiling can identify subgroups at higher risk of ...

Kinetochore or Centromere? [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1939
IN his recent communication1, Dr. Mather seems to have no argument against the applicability of ‘kinetochore’. He sponsors “centromere” largely because it is used by a number of investigators. But I, for one, am not convinced that it is the “best term in use to-day”. To Dr. Mather ‘centromere’ may imply a visible particle, but to many it will connote a
