Phosphoregulation of DSB-1 mediates control of meiotic double-strand break activity

Heyun Guo et al.

Summary: In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the level of double-strand breaks (DSBs) during meiotic cell division is regulated by the phosphorylation of DSB-1. The phosphorylation of DSB-1 is controlled by the opposing activities of the PP4 phosphatase and the ATR kinase. The loss of DSB-2, a paralog of DSB-1, leads to a decrease in DSB formation. The results suggest that DSB-1 phosphorylation is compensated by DSB-2 in order to maintain optimal levels of DSBs in older animals.

SAC during early cell divisions: Sacrificing fidelity over timely division, regulated differently across organisms Chromosome alignment and segregation are left unsupervised from the onset of development until checkpoint activity is acquired, varying from species to species

Joana Duro et al.

Summary: Early embryogenesis involves a delicate balance with the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC), which varies in acquisition time based on species, cell size, or developmental timer. Delaying SAC acquisition may pose challenges despite its essential role in ensuring proper chromosome segregation. Research focuses on understanding SAC acquisition in different species, with pending questions and potential applications being highlighted.

Mitotic chromosomes

James R. Paulson et al.

Summary: Our understanding of the structure and function of mitotic chromosomes has significantly progressed over the years, with key non-histone proteins and protein complexes playing important roles in chromosome formation. Condensins I and II shape the chromosome and scaffold through an ATP-dependent process called loop extrusion, ultimately compacting the mitotic chromosome with the help of Topo II alpha.

Prometaphase

Alexandra P. Navarro et al.

Summary: Faithful chromosome segregation in metazoans requires the establishment of a metaphase plate where all chromosomes are attached to mitotic spindle microtubules and aligned at the cell equator. This process relies on the precise coordination between multiple mechanisms that start upon nuclear envelope breakdown and culminate with chromosome congression to the spindle equator during prometaphase. Error correction mechanisms are in place to sense and correct erroneous kinetochore-microtubule attachments before anaphase.

Role of spatial patterns and kinetochore architecture in spindle morphogenesis

Pablo Lara-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The mitotic spindle is a macromolecular machine responsible for faithful chromosome segregation during cell division. Assembly of the spindle is guided by the 'Search & Capture' principle in structured space. Nucleation of noncentrosomal microtubules near kinetochores and changes in kinetochore architecture promote rapid and accurate assembly of the spindle.
