The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint02:19

The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint

3.2K
The spindle assembly checkpoint is a molecular surveillance mechanism ensuring the fidelity of chromosome segregation during anaphase. The checkpoint monitors the completion of all the prerequisite steps before chromosome segregation to determine whether the segregation process should proceed or be delayed.
Many proteins function together to control the spindle assembly checkpoint. Mutations affecting these proteins may allow cells to proceed into anaphase prematurely, resulting in the...

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle02:37

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle

9.3K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

Separation of Sister Chromatids02:17

Separation of Sister Chromatids

3.8K
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...

Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

2.9K
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...

Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

35.8K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Meiosis II02:02

Meiosis II

46.2K
Meiosis II entails cell division and segregation of the sister chromatids, resulting in the production of four unique haploid gametes. The steps for meiosis II are similar to mitosis, except that meiosis II occurs in haploid cells, whereas mitosis occurs in diploid cells.
The timing and cell division patterns of meiosis differ between males and females. In male meiosis, the centrosomes are part of the formation of the meiotic spindle. However, in oocytes, including that of humans, Drosophila,...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Cycle Regulation
  • DNA Repair Mechanisms

Background:

  • Accurate repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is vital for maintaining genome integrity.
  • Mitosis involves inactivating DSB repair in favor of chromosome stabilization.
  • The adaptor protein TOPBP1 is implicated in this mitotic process, but its mechanism is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanism by which DNA double-strand break repair is regulated during mitosis.
  • To identify key proteins involved in stabilizing broken chromosomes during cell division.
  • To understand the role of TOPBP1 in mitotic genome maintenance.

Main Methods:

  • Identified CIP2A as a novel TOPBP1-interacting protein.
  • Investigated CIP2A's localization and function during the cell cycle, particularly in mitosis.
  • Assessed the impact of CIP2A deficiency on cellular radio-sensitivity, micronuclei formation, and chromosomal instability.

Main Results:

  • CIP2A regulates TOPBP1 localization specifically during mitosis.
  • Cells lacking CIP2A exhibit increased radio-sensitivity and chromosomal instability.
  • CIP2A forms a complex with MDC1 and TOPBP1 on mitotic chromatin, promoting TOPBP1 recruitment to DSBs.

Conclusions:

  • CIP2A acts as a crucial regulator of TOPBP1 during mitosis.
  • The CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex is essential for genome maintenance in mitosis.
  • This study uncovers a novel mitosis-specific genome maintenance complex, CIP2A-TOPBP1.
