Spindle assembly checkpoint activation and silencing at kinetochores

TLDR
In this article, the authors summarize current understanding of the mechanisms that activate and silence the SAC at kinetochores and highlight open questions for future investigation, including how SAC proteins are recruited to SAC in the absence of microtubule attachment.

The phenotypic landscape of essential human genes

- 01 Nov 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors combined pooled CRISPR-Cas9-based functional screening of 5,072 fitness-conferring genes in human HeLa cells with microscopy-based imaging of DNA, the DNA damage response, actin, and microtubules.

The four causes: the functional architecture of centromeres and kinetochores

TL;DR: This work proposes a model for how this ensemble-level architecture is organized, drawing on key insights from the simple one microtubule-one kinetochore setup in budding yeast and innovations that enable meiotic chromosome segregation.

Aurora B Tension Sensing Mechanisms in the Kinetochore Ensure Accurate Chromosome Segregation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the Aurora B kinase in tension-sensing and the current models for translating mechanical force into Aurora B mediated biochemical signals that regulate correction of chromosome attachments to the spindle.

The Multifaceted Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics During Mitosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review aims at summarizing established and emerging concepts about the complex regulatory networks which couple crucial mitotic factors and events to mitochondrial dynamics and which could be implicated in human disease.

Feedback control of mitosis in budding yeast.

TL;DR: The role of feedback controls in coordinating events in the cell cycle is discussed and the properties of mad mutants indicate that they are defective in the feedback control over the exit from mitosis are discussed.

The small molecule Hesperadin reveals a role for Aurora B in correcting kinetochore-microtubule attachment and in maintaining the spindle assembly checkpoint.

TL;DR: The data suggest that Aurora B is required to generate unattached kinetochores on monooriented chromosomes, which in turn could promote bipolar attachment as well as maintain checkpoint signaling.

Aurora B couples chromosome alignment with anaphase by targeting BubR1, Mad2, and Cenp-E to kinetochores

TL;DR: It is shown that BubR1 is not only required for spindle checkpoint function, but is also required for chromosome alignment, which suggests that by targeting checkpoint proteins to kinetochores, Aurora B couples chromosome alignment with anaphase onset.

S. cerevisiae genes required for cell cycle arrest in response to loss of microtubule function.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified mutant strains of S. cerevisiae that fail to properly arrest their cell cycles at mitosis in response to the loss of microtubule function.

Checkpoint inhibition of the APC/C in HeLa cells is mediated by a complex of BUBR1, BUB3, CDC20, and MAD2

TL;DR: It is proposed that the preformed interphase pool of MCC allows for rapid inhibition of APC/C when cells enter mitosis, and this likely contributes to the lag in ubiquitin ligase activity.
