Identification of RFC(Ctf18p, Ctf8p, Dcc1p): an alternative RFC complex required for sister chromatid cohesion in S. cerevisiae.

TLDR
In this paper, the authors have identified and characterized an alternative RFC complex RFC(CTF18p, CTF8p, Dcc1p) that is required for sister chromatid cohesion and faithful chromosome transmission.

Hypoxia — a key regulatory factor in tumour growth

TL;DR: Cells undergo a variety of biological responses when placed in hypoxic conditions, including activation of signalling pathways that regulate proliferation, angiogenesis and death, and many elements of the hypoxia-response pathway are good candidates for therapeutic targeting.

Cohesin: Its Roles and Mechanisms

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that cohesin acts as a novel topological device that traps chromosomal DNA within a large tripartite ring formed by its core subunits.

Disseminating the Genome: Joining, Resolving, and Separating Sister Chromatids During Mitosis and Meiosis

TL;DR: New research has identified proteins that hold sisters together while they are aligned on the metaphase plate and shed insight into the mechanisms that dissolve sister chromatid cohesion during both mitosis and meiosis.

Error-prone repair DNA polymerases in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

TL;DR: This review is devoted primarily to a discussion of Y-family polymerase members that exhibit error-prone behavior, which poses challenging questions about their roles in targeting and trafficking.

Mass Spectrometric Sequencing of Proteins from Silver-Stained Polyacrylamide Gels

TL;DR: Silver staining allows a substantial shortening of sample preparation time and may, therefore, be preferable over Coomassie staining, and this work removes a major obstacle to the low-level sequence analysis of proteins separated on polyacrylamide gels.

Additional modules for versatile and economical PCR-based gene deletion and modification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: A new set of plasmids that serve as templates for the PCR synthesis of fragments that allow a variety of gene modifications that should further facilitate the rapid analysis of gene function in S. cerevisiae.

Genetic instabilities in human cancers

TL;DR: There is now evidence that most cancers may indeed be genetically unstable, but that the instability exists at two distinct levels, and recognition and comparison of these instabilities are leading to new insights into tumour pathogenesis.

Cohesins: chromosomal proteins that prevent premature separation of sister chromatids

TL;DR: Three chromosmal proteins that prevent premature separation of sister chromatids in yeast are described, two of which are members of the SMC family, which are putative ATPases with coiled-coil domains.
