Disassembly of Intermediate Filaments01:35

Disassembly of Intermediate Filaments

2.2K
Intermediate filaments (IFs) do not undergo spontaneous disassembly. Enzymes, kinases, and phosphatases add and remove phosphates from specific sites to regulate their disassembly. The IF concentration in the cytoplasm also regulates the disassembly. If the concentration crosses a threshold, it activates the protein kinases in the vicinity, allowing the phosphorylation of IFs.
Keratin proteins, found at the cell periphery near cell junctions, undergo a cycle of assembly and disassembly. In Type...

Forces Acting on Chromosomes02:11

Forces Acting on Chromosomes

3.5K
During mitosis, chromosome movements occur through the interplay of multiple piconewton level forces. In prometaphase, these forces help in chromosome assembly or congression at the equatorial plane, eventually leading to their alignment at the metaphase plate. The forces acting on the chromosomes are space and time-dependent; therefore, they vary with the position of the chromosomes as the cell progresses through mitosis. 
Microtubules and motor proteins exert two types of forces on...

Separation of Sister Chromatids02:17

Separation of Sister Chromatids

3.9K
At the transition from prophase to metaphase, there is a reduction in cohesion along the chromosomal arms, resulting in the resolution of sister chromatids. However, residual cohesin connections remain to hold the sister chromatids together until the transition from metaphase to anaphase. The residual connection prevents any premature separation of sister chromatids, blocking the risks of aneuploidy within the daughter cells.
At the onset of anaphase, separase, a proteolytic enzyme, is...

Attachment of Sister Chromatids02:57

Attachment of Sister Chromatids

3.5K
As cells progress into mitosis, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the condensed chromosomes are exposed to the array of bipolar microtubules of the mitotic spindle. The kinetochore, a large, disc-shaped protein complex, is present at the centromere region of the sister chromatids and acts as a binding site for the microtubules.  Usually, the plus-end of a single microtubule is embedded within the kinetochore. However, some kinetochores first establish lateral contact with the side-wall...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting01:45

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

2.6K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

3.0K
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Chromatin interactions with the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are crucial for genome organization and gene expression in eukaryotes.
  • These chromatin-nuclear envelope (NE) interactions are transiently lost during mitosis and re-established as cells divide.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanisms regulating chromatin association with the nuclear envelope during postmitotic nuclear reformation in S. cerevisiae.
  • To identify key molecular events controlling the spatial and temporal assembly of chromatin-NE interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized S. cerevisiae as a model organism.
  • Investigated phosphorylation-dependent SUMOylation events.
  • Examined the roles of the SUMO ligase Siz2 and the VAP protein Scs2 in chromatin targeting.

Main Results:

  • Identified phosphorylation-dependent SUMOylation as a positive regulator of postmetaphase chromatin association with the NE.
  • Discovered a mechanism where Siz2 is recruited to the INM via phosphorylation-dependent binding to Scs2.
  • Demonstrated that Siz2-Scs2 interaction drives SUMOylation at the INM, promoting subtelomeric chromatin anchorage and INO1 gene localization to NPCs.

Conclusions:

  • Phosphorylation-mediated recruitment of Siz2 to the INM is essential for proper chromatin re-engagement with the nuclear envelope after mitosis.
  • SUMOylation, regulated by Siz2 and Scs2, plays a critical role in anchoring chromatin and positioning active genes at NPCs during nuclear reformation and early G1 phase.
