Precocious activation of APC/C-Cdh1 at pre-anaphase causes genome instability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Faithful chromosome segregation and thereby accurate gene transmission are crucial for all organisms. Until proper attachment of the mitotic spindle to the kinetochore is established, the ubiquitin ligase (E3) Cdc20-activated APC/C (anaphase promoting ...

The Spindle-Assembly Checkpoint, Aneuploidy, and Gastrointestinal Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2010
Genomic instability is a common occurrence in solid tumors, and it has long been conjectured that this process plays a causal role in cancer. The field of human molecular genetics has provided a means to test this hypothesis, fueled in part by the analysis of hereditary cancer-predisposition syndromes. Some of the first unequivocal support for the idea

A sequential multi-target Mps1 phosphorylation cascade promotes spindle checkpoint signaling

open access: yeseLife, 2017
The master spindle checkpoint kinase Mps1 senses kinetochore-microtubule attachment and promotes checkpoint signaling to ensure accurate chromosome segregation.

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...

Centriole assembly and the role of Mps1: defensible or dispensable?

open access: yesCell Division, 2011
The Mps1 protein kinase is an intriguing and controversial player in centriole assembly. Originally shown to control duplication of the budding yeast spindle pole body, Mps1 is present in eukaryotes from yeast to humans, the nematode C.

Cell Surface Markers Identify Astrocyte Subpopulations in the Adult Hippocampus With a Heterogeneous Response to Aging

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 11, November 2026.
ATP1B2 and GLAST identify two astrocyte subpopulations in the hippocampus with distinct molecular signatures. Transcriptomic shifts during aging differ between both subpopulations. Aged ATP1B2+ astrocytes rewire their metabolism while double‐positive aged astrocytes display a reduced synaptogenic capability.

Interplay of kinetochores and catalysts drives rapid assembly of the mitotic checkpoint complex

open access: yesNature Communications
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) ensures mitotic exit occurs only after sister chromatid biorientation, but how this coordination is mechanistically achieved remains unclear.

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 10, Page 2490-2509, October 2026.
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

The role of fission yeast nuclear actin-related protein in mitosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Nuclear actin-related proteins (Arps) have 20-30% identity to conventional actin and many are found to be in chromatin remodelling complexes. There are two families of chromatin remodelling complexes, one of which carries out covalent modification on ...

Astrin is required for the maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion and centrosome integrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Faithful chromosome segregation in mitosis requires the formation of a bipolar mitotic spindle with stably attached chromosomes. Once all of the chromosomes are aligned, the connection between the sister chromatids is severed by the cysteine protease ...
