PP2A Phosphatase Acts upon SAS-5 to Ensure Centriole Formation in C. elegans Embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Debora Keller

Centrosome duplication occurs once per cell cycle and ensures that the two resulting centrosomes assemble a bipolar mitotic spindle. Centriole formation is fundamental for centrosome duplication. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the evolutionarily conserved prot ...

An essential Aurora-related kinase transiently associates with spindle pole bodies during Plasmodium falciparum erythrocytic schizogony

Aurora kinases compose a family of conserved Ser/Thr protein kinases playing essential roles in eukaryotic cell division. To date, Aurora homologues remain uncharacterized in the protozoan phylum Apicomplexa. In malaria parasites, the characterization of A ...

Functional characterization of the SAS-4-related protein CPAP in centrosome biology of human cells

The centrosome is an organelle that resides at the center of most animal cells and comprises two microtubule-based centriole cylinders surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). The centrosome plays a fundamental role for nucleating and organizing a radi ...

Lte1, Cdc14 and MEN-controlled Cdk inactivation in yeast coordinate rDNA decompaction with late telophase progression

Thierry Laroche

The mechanism of chromatin compaction in mitosis has been well studied, while little is known about what controls chromatin decompaction in early G1 phase. We have localized the Condensin subunit Brn1 to a compact spiral of rDNA in mitotic budding yeast ce ...

Homoeostasis between the GTPase Spg1p and its GAP in the regulation of cytokinesis in S. pombe

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

Cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe begins at mitotic entry, when the site of division is defined by formation of the contractile acto-myosin ring (CAR) at the cell cortex. Contraction of the CAR and formation of the division septum are triggered at t ...

Chemical genetic analysis of the regulatory role of Cdc2p in the S. pombe septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

The protein kinase Cdc2p is the master regulator of cell cycle progression in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It is required both for entry into mitosis and for onset of DNA replication. Cdc2p must be inactivated to permit exit from mitosis, l ...

ZYG-9, TAC-1 and ZYG-8 together ensure correct microtubule function throughout the cell cycle of C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy

The early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is well suited for investigating microtubule-dependent cell division processes. In the one-cell stage, the XMAP215 homologue ZYG-9, associated with the TACC protein TAC-1, promotes microtubule growth during interphas ...

SAS-6 defines a protein family required for centrosome duplication in C. elegans and in human cells

Pierre Gönczy

The mechanisms that ensure centrosome duplication are poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, ZYG-1, SAS-4, SAS-5 and SPD-2 are required for centriole formation. However, it is unclear whether these proteins have functional homologues in other organi ...
