Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear envelope assembly defects link mitotic errors to chromothripsis

TL;DR: It is shown that spindle microtubules block assembly of NPCs and other non-core nuclear envelope proteins on lagging chromosomes, causing an irreversible defect in nuclear envelope assembly, which leads to spontaneous envelope disruption of micronuclei and subsequent genome instability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome Segregation Is Biased by Kinetochore Size.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that chromosome segregation in this species is not random and kinetochore size is an important determinant of chromosome segregation fidelity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microtubules assemble near most kinetochores during early prometaphase in human cells

TL;DR: It is reported that most kinetochores in human cells develop K-fibers via the second mechanism, and conversion from lateral to end-on interactions is impeded upon inhibition of the plus end–directed kinetchore-associated kinesin CenpE.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Role for the Twins Protein Phosphatase (PP2A-B55) in the Maintenance of Drosophila Genome Integrity.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that an improperly phosphorylated Ku70 protein can lead to DNA damage and CABs is suggested, which is consistent with many types of cancer and acts as a tumor suppressor.
