Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

Mahé Cécile Raccaud

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/non-specific DNA binding affinity. How these properties affect the ability of TFs to occupy their specific binding sites in the genome and modify the epige ...

Probing the distribution of cortical components, including PtdIns(4,5)P2, during asymmetric division of C. elegans embryos

Melina Jasmin Scholze

Asymmetric cell division is crucial for embryonic development and stem cell lineages. In the one-cell C. elegans embryo, a contractile cortical actomyosin network contributes to asymmetric division by segregating PAR proteins to discrete cortical domains. ...

Transcription-induced supercoiling explains formation of self-interacting chromatin domains in S-pombe

Yannis Burnier, Julien Dorier, Fabrizio Benedetti, Andrzej Stasiak

The question of how self-interacting chromatin domains in interphase chromosomes are structured and generated dominates current discussions on eukaryotic chromosomes. Numerical simulations using standard polymer models have been helpful in testing the vali ...

Cdk2 strengthens the intra-S checkpoint and counteracts cell cycle exit induced by DNA damage

Gérald Joseph Paul Lossaint, Katarina Bacevic

Although cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) controls the G1/S transition and promotes DNA replication, it is dispensable for cell cycle progression due to redundancy with Cdk1. Yet Cdk2 also has non-redundant functions that can be revealed in certain genetic ...

Identification of genetic interactors of ypa2 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Manuela Moraru

In this study, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was used as a model system to study the cellular signaling that underlies cell cycle progression. Phosphorylation plays an important part in the regulation of this process. Kinases catalyze the tra ...

KAT2A/KAT2B-targeted acetylome reveals a role for PLK4 acetylation in preventing centrosome amplification

Pierre Gönczy, Mathias Fournier

Lysine acetylation is a widespread post-translational modification regulating various biological processes. To characterize cellular functions of the human lysine acetyltransferases KAT2A (GCN5) and KAT2B (PCAF), we determined their acetylome by shotgun pr ...

Optimization and characterization of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX in a yeast model

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Jaroslava Joniová, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

The availability of reproducible, convenient, and inexpensive model organisms able to generate predictable levels of endogenous porphyrins, including protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), is essential in photomedicine research. Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces endoge ...

Pombe's thirteen - control of fission yeast cell division by the septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis

The septation initiation network (SIN) regulates aspects of cell growth and division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is essential for cytokinesis. Insufficient signalling results in improper assembly of the contractile ring and failure of cytokinesis, gen ...

An Extended, Boolean Model of the Septation Initiation Network in S-pombe Provides Insights into Its Regulation

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Elena Cano, Anastasia Chasapi, Ioannis Xenarios

Cytokinesis in fission yeast is controlled by the Septation Initiation Network (SIN), a protein kinase signaling network using the spindle pole body as scaffold. In order to describe the qualitative behavior of the system and predict unknown mutant behavio ...

A formin-nucleated actin aster concentrates cell wall hydrolases for cell fusion in fission yeast

Thierry Laroche, Arne Seitz, Omaya Pierre Dudin, Raphaël Groux

Cell-cell fusion is essential for fertilization. For fusion of walled cells, the cell wall must be degraded at a precise location but maintained in surrounding regions to protect against lysis. In fission yeast cells, the formin Fus1, which nucleates linea ...

No DDRama at chromosome ends: TRF2 takes centre stage

Antonio Porro, Liuh-Yow Chen, Sascha Feuerhahn

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures capping the natural termini of eukaryotic linear chromosomes. Telomeres possess an inherent ability to circumvent the activation of a full-blown DNA damage response (DDR), and hence fusion reactions, by limiting inapp ...
