Differing requirements for Augmin in male meiotic and mitotic spindle formation in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2014
Animal cells divide using a microtubule-based, bipolar spindle. Both somatic, mitotic cells and sperm-producing male meiotic spermatocytes use centrosome-dependent and acentrosomal spindle-forming mechanisms.

Cell Cycle‐Specific Regulation of Centrosome Clustering Dynamics in Cancer Cells by the Multifunctional Kinesin HSET

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CDK5RAP2 associates with the kinesin HSET and forms co‐condensates. HSET motors drive the directional transport of CDK5RAP2 condensates toward microtubule minus ends. During mitosis, HSET self‐assembly further stabilizes clustered centrosomes, thereby enabling pseudo‐bipolar spindle formation in cancer cells with supernumerary centrosomes. Upon mitotic

Endosulfine alpha maintains spindle pole integrity by recruiting Aurora A during mitosis

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2023
Background The maintenance of spindle pole integrity is essential for spindle assembly and chromosome segregation during mitosis. However, the underlying mechanisms governing spindle pole integrity remain unclear.

Cytotoxicity of 9,10-Phenanthrenequinone Impairs Mitotic Progression and Spindle Assembly Independent of ROS Production in HeLa Cells

open access: yesToxics, 2022
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon quinone derivative 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (9,10-PQ) is one of the most abundant and toxic components found in diesel exhaust particles (DEPs).

Congenital microcephaly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The underlying etiologies of genetic congenital microcephaly are complex and multifactorial. Recently, with the exponential growth in the identification and characterization of novel genetic causes of congenital microcephaly, there has been a ...

Directed Evolution Improves the Catalytic Efficiency of APEX2‐Mediated Proximity‐Dependent RNA Labeling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineered ascorbate peroxidase APEX2 has been widely used for spatially restricted profiling of subcellular biomolecules, but its catalytic efficiency toward newly developed probes such as biotin‐aniline (Btn‐An) remains suboptimal. To overcome this limitation, we performed yeast surface display‐based directed evolution to enhance APEX2 ...

Effect of Cell Shape and Dimensionality on Spindle Orientation and Mitotic Timing. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The formation and orientation of the mitotic spindle is a critical feature of mitosis. The morphology of the cell and the spatial distribution and composition of the cells' adhesive microenvironment all contribute to dictate the position of the spindle ...

A permeabilized cell model for studying cell division: a comparison of anaphase chromosome movement and cleavage furrow constriction in lysed PtK1 cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
After lysis in a Brij 58-polyethylene glycol medium, PtK1 cells are permeable to small molecules, such as erythrosin B, and to proteins, such as rhodamine-labeled FAB, myosin subfragment-1, and tubulin.

Covalent Reprogramming of Kinase Binders to Modulate Protein Abundance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrophilic remodeling of a broad‐spectrum kinase binder reveals how subtle chemical changes reprogram protein fate. An acrylamide analog of a multi‐kinase binder selectively stabilizes Aurora kinase A (AURKA) by suppressing its ubiquitination, while a short‐linker variant converts this stabilizer into a degrader.

PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PTEN controls three-dimensional (3D) glandular morphogenesis by coupling juxtamembrane signalling to mitotic spindle machinery. While molecular mechanisms remain unclear, PTEN interacts through its C2 membrane-binding domain with the scaffold protein β ...
