New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys.
Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...
EPFL2023Live imaging screen reveals that TYRO3 and GAK ensure accurate spindle positioning in human cells
Proper spindle positioning is crucial for spatial cell division control. Spindle positioning in human cells relies on a ternary complex comprising G alpha i1-3, LGN and NuMA, which anchors dynein at the cell cortex, thus enabling pulling forces to be exert ...
Springer2019Computer simulations reveal mechanisms that organize nuclear dynein forces to separate centrosomes
Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone
Centrosome separation along the surface of the nucleus at the onset of mitosis is critical for bipolar spindle assembly. Dynein anchored on the nuclear envelope is known to be important for centrosome separation, but it is unclear how nuclear dynein forces ...
Amer Soc Cell Biology2017Mechanisms of centrosome separation in C. elegans
Centrosomes are the major microtubule organizing centers of animal cells. The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely fashion along the nuclear envelope to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly and thus genome stability. ...
