A role for the carbon source of the cell and protein kinase A in regulating the S. pombe septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Bastien Mangeat, Özge Uysal Özdemir

The septation initiation network (SIN) is a conserved signal transduction network, which is important for cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The SIN component Etd1p is required for association of some SIN proteins with the spindle pole body (SPB) du ...

Primary data for EPFL thesis "Characterisation of conditional alleles of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cytokinesis regulator byr4"

Michael Grüner Vindfeldt

Regulation of cytokinesis is essential for the cell during its division cycle. Failure to do so can lead to aneuploidy, which can be fatal and lead to senescence or cancer. A useful model organism for studying cytokinesis in eukaryotes is Schizosaccharomyc ...

Centriole elimination during Caenorhabditis elegans oogenesis initiates with loss of the central tube protein SAS-1

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Alexander Woglar, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali, Keshav Jha, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron

In most metazoans, centrioles are lost during oogenesis, ensuring that the zygote is endowed with the correct number of two centrioles, which are paternally contributed. How centriole architecture is dismantled during oogenesis is not understood. Here, we ...

Metabolic regulation of cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Özge Uysal Özdemir

All cells need to be able to sense their environment, and adapt their metabolism, growth and cell division appropriately. In this study, I examined the response of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to a change in the carbon source and how that affects cytokinesis. ...

Physically asymmetric division of the C. elegans zygote ensures invariably successful embryogenesis

Pierre Gönczy, Radek Jankele

Asymmetric divisions that yield daughter cells of different sizes are frequent during early embryogenesis, but the importance of such a physical difference for successful development remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated this question using the ...

Traction Forces Control Cell-Edge Dynamics and Mediate Distance Sensitivity during Cell Polarization

Alexander Verkhovskiy, Franck Claude Raynaud, Alicia Carine Bornert, Zeno Messi

Traction forces are generated by cellular actin-myosin system and transmitted to the environment through adhesions. They are believed to drive cell motion, shape changes, and extracellular matrix remodeling [1 -3] . However, most of the traction force anal ...

Loss of Bacterial Cell Pole Stabilization in Caulobacter crescentus Sensitizes to Outer Membrane Stress and Peptidoglycan-Directed Antibiotics

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Julien Bortoli Chapalay

Rod-shaped bacteria frequently localize proteins to one or both cellpoles in order to regulate processes such as chromosome replication or polar organ-elle development. However, the roles of polar factors in responses to extracellularstimuli have been gene ...

Patterning and mechanics of somite boundaries in zebrafish embryos

Andrew Charles Oates, Sundar Ram Naganathan

The body axis of vertebrates is subdivided into repetitive compartments called somites, which give rise primarily to the segmented architecture of the musculoskeletal system in the adult body. Somites form in a sequential and rhythmic manner in embryos and ...

Live imaging screen reveals that TYRO3 and GAK ensure accurate spindle positioning in human cells

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf

Proper spindle positioning is crucial for spatial cell division control. Spindle positioning in human cells relies on a ternary complex comprising G alpha i1-3, LGN and NuMA, which anchors dynein at the cell cortex, thus enabling pulling forces to be exert ...

Aurora A depletion reveals centrosome-independent polarization mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Kerstin Klinkert Fabbri, Lukas von Tobel, Christian Gentili, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron, Sarah Herrman

How living systems break symmetry in an organized manner is a fundamental question in biology. In wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans zygotes, symmetry breaking during anterior-posterior axis specification is guided by centrosomes, resulting in anterior-direc ...

Analysis of the S. pombe Meiotic Proteome Reveals a Switch from Anabolic to Catabolic Processes and Extensive Post-transcriptional Regulation

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Romain Hamelin, Diego Chiappe, Florence Armand, Lucien Fabrice Krapp, Marc Moniatte, Elena Cano

Meiotic progression in S. pombe is regulated by stage-specific gene expression and translation, changes in RNA stability, expression of anti-sense transcripts, and targeted proteolysis of regulatory proteins. We have used SILAC labeling to examine the rela ...

Glutaredoxin1 Diminishes Amyloid Beta-Mediated Oxidation of F-Actin and Reverses Cognitive Deficits in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

Bernard Schneider

Aims: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis through multiple sources are implicated in synaptic pathology observed in the disease. We have previously shown F-actin disassembly in dendritic spines in early AD ( ...

Nicotine increases sleep spindle activity

Christian O'Reilly

Studies have shown that both nicotine and sleep spindles are associated with enhanced memorisation. Further, a few recent studies have shown how cholinergic input through nicotinic and muscarinic receptors can trigger or modulate sleep processes in general ...

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. ...

TRACMIT: An effective pipeline for tracking and analyzing cells on micropatterns through mitosis

Pierre Gönczy, Benita Wolf, Olivier Burri, Arne Seitz

The use of micropatterns has transformed investigations of dynamic biological processes by enabling the reproducible analysis of live cells using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy. With micropatterns, thousands of individual cells can be efficiently image ...

Zika virus causes supernumerary foci with centriolar proteins and impaired spindle positioning

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf

Zika virus (ZIKV) causes congenital microcephaly. Although ZIKV can impair cell cycle progression and provoke apoptosis, which probably contributes to disease aetiology through depletion of neural progenitor cells, additional cellular mechanisms may be imp ...

Bidirectional motion of filaments: the role of motor proteins and passive cross linkers

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In eukaryotic cells, motor proteins (MPs) bind to cytoskeletal filaments and move along them in a directed manner generating active stresses. During cell division a spindle structure of overlapping antiparallel microtubules forms whose stability and dynami ...
