TL;DR: The analysis reveals an evolutionarily new centromere on equine chromosome 11 that displays properties of an immature but fully functioning Centromere and is devoid of centromeric satellite sequence, suggesting thatCentromeric function may arise before satellite repeat accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary movement of centromeres in horse, donkey, and zebra
Lucia Carbone,Solomon G. Nergadze,Elisa Magnani,Doriana Misceo,Maria Francesca Cardone,Roberta Roberto,Livia Bertoni,Carmen Attolini,Maria Francesca Piras,Pieter J. de Jong,Terje Raudsepp,Bhanu P. Chowdhary,Gérard Guérin,Nicoletta Archidiacono,Mariano Rocchi,Elena Giulotto +15 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that in some species the CR phenomenon could have played an important role in karyotype shaping, with potential consequences on population dynamics and speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncoupling of satellite DNA and centromeric function in the genus Equus.
Francesca M. Piras,Solomon G. Nergadze,Elisa Magnani,Livia Bertoni,Carmen Attolini,Lela Khoriauli,Elena Raimondi,Elena Giulotto +7 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic reconstruction ofcentromere repositioning events demonstrates that the acquisition of satellite DNA occurs after the formation of the centromere during evolution and that centromeres can function over millions of years and many generations without detectable satellite DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
New mammalian cellular systems to study mutations introduced at the break site by non-homologous end-joining
Paola Rebuzzini,Lela Khoriauli,Claus M. Azzalin,Elisa Magnani,Chiara Mondello,Elena Giulotto +5 more
TL;DR: New cellular systems to specifically analyze sequence modifications occurring at the repair site of the NHEJ pathway showed that deletions were the most frequent modifications, being present in more than 80% of the junctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The catalytic and the RNA subunits of human telomerase are required to immortalize equid primary fibroblasts
Pamela Vidale,Elisa Magnani,Solomon G. Nergadze,Marco Santagostino,Gaël Cristofari,Gaël Cristofari,Alexandra Smirnova,Chiara Mondello,Elena Giulotto +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that hTERT expression is not sufficient to immortalize primary fibroblasts from three equid species, namely donkey, Burchelli's zebra and Grevy’s zebra, and the immortalization procedure described herein could be extended to primary cells from other mammals.
