Although the dynamic instability of microtubules (MTs) is fundamental to many cellular functions, quiescent MTs with unattached free distal ends are commonly present and play important roles in various events power dynamics. However, how these MT tips stabilized remains poorly understood. Here, we report that centrosome spindle pole protein 1 (CSPP1) caps stabilizes both plus minus static MTs. Real-time imaging laser-ablated live cells showed deposition CSPP1 at newly generated ends, whose...

Error-free cell division depends on the accurate assembly of spindle midzone from dynamic microtubules to ensure chromatid segregation during metaphase-anaphase transition. However, mechanism underlying key transition mitotic central before anaphase onset remains elusive. Given prevalence chromosome instability phenotype in gastric tumorigenesis, we developed a strategy model context-dependent using combination light sheet microscope and 3D organoids. Light microscopic image analyses...

Heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) regulates chromatin specification and plasticity during cell fate decision. Different structural determinants account for HP1α localization function division cycle. Our earlier study showed that centromeric of depends on the epigenetic mark H3K9me3 in interphase, while its location mitosis relies uncharacterized PXVXL-containing factors. Here, we identified a protein, ligand-dependent nuclear receptor-interacting factor 1 (LRIF1), which recruits to...

Stable transmission of genetic information during cell division requires faithful mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. In eukaryotic cells, nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD) is required for proper Although a list kinases has been implicated in NEBD, how they coordinate their activity to dissolve the protein machinery such as pore complexes was unclear. Here, we identified regulatory mechanism which Nup62 acetylated by TIP60 human division. novel substrate TIP60, acetylation...

Abstract Cell polarity is essential for spatially regulating of physiological processes in metazoans by which hormonal stimulation‒secretion coupling precisely coupled tissue homeostasis and organ communications. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying epithelial cell establishment remain elusive. Here, we show that septin cytoskeleton interacts with catenin complex to organize a functional domain separate apical from basal membranes polarized cells. Using monolayer as model system...

ABSTRACT Error-free mitosis depends on accurate chromosome attachment to spindle microtubules via a fine structure called the centromere that is epigenetically specified by enrichment of CENP-A nucleosomes. Centromere maintenance during requires CENP-A-mediated deposition constitutive centromere-associated network establishes inner kinetochore and connects centromeric chromatin mitosis. Although previously proposed be an adaptor retinoic acid receptor, here, we show CENP-R synergizes with...

A new highly oxygenated germacranolide, carcerlane (1), together with four known germacranolides (2-5), was isolated from an ethanol extract of the whole plant Carpesium nepalense var. lanatum (C.B.Clarke) Kitam. The structures were determined by HRESIMS and extensive analysis their spectroscopic data including IR, 1 D 2 NMR spectra. To our best knowledge, it first time to report phytochemical investigation on this plant. anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) activities 1-5 evaluated using...

Abstract In mammals, the transcription of transposable elements (TEs) is important for maintaining early embryonic development. Here, we systematically analyzed expression characteristics TE-derived transcripts in embryos by constructing a database TEs and transcriptome data from goats using it to study function endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) regulating embryo We found that ERV1 made up highest proportion TE sequences exhibited stage-specific pattern during Among ERV elements, had potential...
