The solution structure of the N-terminal domain of human tubulin binding cofactor C reveals a platform for tubulin interaction.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Human Tubulin Binding Cofactor C (TBCC) is a post-chaperonin involved in the folding and assembly of α- and β-tubulin monomers leading to the release of productive tubulin heterodimers ready to polymerize into microtubules.

Notch Activation Is Associated with Tetraploidy and Enhanced Chromosomal Instability in Meningiomas

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008
The Notch signaling cascade is deregulated in diverse cancer types. Specific Notch function in cancer is dependent on the cellular context, the particular homologs expressed, and cross-talk with other signaling pathways.

Loss of CHFR in Human Mammary Epithelial Cells Causes Genomic Instability by Disrupting the Mitotic Spindle Assembly Checkpoint

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008
CHFR is an E3 ubiquitin ligase and an early mitotic checkpoint protein implicated in many cancers and in the maintenance of genomic stability. To analyze the role of CHFR in genomic stability, by siRNA, we decreased its expression in genomically stable ...

Nek2A prevents centrosome clustering and induces cell death in cancer cells via KIF2C interaction

open access: yesCell Death and Disease
Unlike normal cells, cancer cells frequently exhibit supernumerary centrosomes, leading to formation of multipolar spindles that can trigger cell death.

Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin Induced Alterations in Chromatin Organization of Plant Cells

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2013
Cyanobacteria produce metabolites with diverse bioactivities, structures and pharmacological properties. The effects of microcystins (MCYs), a family of peptide type protein-phosphatase inhibitors and cylindrospermopsin (CYN), an alkaloid type of protein

Disruption of mouse Cenpj, a regulator of centriole biogenesis, phenocopies Seckel syndrome.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
Disruption of the centromere protein J gene, CENPJ (CPAP, MCPH6, SCKL4), which is a highly conserved and ubiquitiously expressed centrosomal protein, has been associated with primary microcephaly and the microcephalic primordial dwarfism disorder Seckel ...

Chromosomal instability increases radiation sensitivity

open access: yesbioRxiv
Continuous chromosome missegregation over successive mitotic divisions, known as chromosomal instability (CIN), is common in cancer. Increasing CIN above a maximally tolerated threshold leads to cell death due to loss of essential chromosomes.

B-type plexins regulate mitosis via RanGTPase

open access: yesbioRxiv
Aberrant mitosis can result in aneuploidy and cancer. The small GTPase, Ran, is a key regulator of mitosis. B-type Plexins regulate Ran activity by acting as RanGTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and have been implicated in cancer progression.

Deoxynivalenol triggers mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis in C2C12 myoblasts

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Deoxynivalenol (DON), commonly known as vomitoxin, is a mycotoxin produced by fungi and is frequently found as a contaminant in various cereal-based food worldwide.
