TRIP13PCH-2 promotes Mad2 localization to unattached kinetochores in the spindle checkpoint response. [PDF]

, 2015
The spindle checkpoint acts during cell division to prevent aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. During checkpoint activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to kinetochores to generate a signal that delays anaphase onset.

Contribution of Tau Pathology to Mitochondrial Impairment in Neurodegeneration

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Tau is an essential protein that physiologically promotes the assembly and stabilization of microtubules, and participates in neuronal development, axonal transport, and neuronal polarity.

Ribonucleolytic resection is required for repair of strand displaced nonhomologous end-joining intermediates [PDF]

, 2013
Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in eukaryotes and many prokaryotes, although it is not reported to operate in the third domain of life, archaea. Here, we describe a complete NHEJ complex, consisting of DNA

OsHOP2 regulates the maturation of crossovers by promoting homologous pairing and synapsis in rice meiosis.

New Phytologist, 2019
Meiotic recombination is closely linked with homologous pairing and synapsis. Previous studies have shown that HOMOLOGOUS PAIRING PROTEIN2 (HOP2), plays an essential role in homologous pairing and synapsis.

Apoptosis in mouse fetal and neonatal oocytes during meiotic prophase one [PDF]

, 2007
Background The vast majority of oocytes formed in the fetal ovary do not survive beyond birth. Possible reasons for their loss include the elimination of non-viable genetic constitutions arising through meiosis, however, the ...

Crystal structure of Hop2-Mnd1 and mechanistic insights into its role in meiotic recombination [PDF]

, 2015
In meiotic DNA recombination, the Hop2-Mnd1 complex promotes Dmc1-mediated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) invasion into homologous chromosomes to form a synaptic complex by a yet-unclear mechanism.

Crossover recombination and synapsis are linked by adjacent regions within the N terminus of the Zip1 synaptonemal complex protein

bioRxiv, 2018
Accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis relies on the prior establishment of at least one crossover recombination event between homologous chromosomes, which is often associated with the meiosis-specific MutSγ complex.

Chromosome Synapsis Alleviates Mek1-Dependent Suppression of Meiotic DNA Repair

PLoS Biology, 2016
Faithful meiotic chromosome segregation and fertility require meiotic recombination between homologous chromosomes rather than the equally available sister chromatid, a bias that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae depends on the meiotic kinase, Mek1.

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.
