Deciphering the molecular events leading to the global restoration of the chromatin landscape during mitotic exit
Two fundamental properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are their ability to self-renew and differentiate into all somatic cell types. Maintenance of their identity faces major challenges when transitioning through mitosis, as most DNA-binding proteins a ...
EPFL2023Metabolic regulation of cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
All cells need to be able to sense their environment, and adapt their metabolism, growth and cell division appropriately. In this study, I examined the response of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to a change in the carbon source and how that affects cytokinesis. ...
EPFL2022Primary data for EPFL thesis "Metabolic regulation of cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe"
All cells need to be able to sense their environment, and adapt their metabolism, growth and cell division appropriately. In this study, I examined the response of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to a change in the carbon source and how that affects cytokinesis. ...
EPFL Infoscience2022A high-content RNAi screen reveals multiple roles for long noncoding RNAs in cell division
Genome stability relies on proper coordination of mitosis and cytokinesis, where dynamic microtubules capture and faithfully segregate chromosomes into daughter cells. With a high-content RNAi imaging screen targeting more than 2,000 human lncRNAs, we iden ...
2020Live 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 ...
Springer2019Flagellar microtubule doublet assembly in vitro reveals a regulatory role of tubulin C-terminal tails
Davide Demurtas, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel
Microtubule doublets (MTDs), consisting of an incomplete B-microtubule at the surface of a complete A-microtubule, provide a structural scaffold mediating intraflagellar transport and ciliary beating. Despite the fundamental role of MTDs, the molecular mec ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2019Computer 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 Biology2017Dynein Transmits Polarized Actomyosin Cortical Flows to Promote Centrosome Separation
Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone
The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely and accurate fashion to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly. The minus-end-directed motor dynein plays a pivotal role in centrosome separation, but the underlying mechanisms r ...
Elsevier2016Mechanisms 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. ...
EPFL2016Aurora A kinase regulates proper spindle positioning in C-elegans and in human cells
Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Sachin Kotak
Accurate spindle positioning is essential for error-free cell division. The one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo has proven instrumental for dissecting mechanisms governing spindle positioning. Despite important progress, how the cortical forces that act ...
