TRIM37 prevents formation of centriolar protein assemblies by regulating Centrobin

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf, Fernando Romero Balestra, Tessa Vivianne Averink, Alizée Buff

TRIM37 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase mutated in Mulibrey nanism, a disease with impaired organ growth and increased tumor formation. TRIM37 depletion from tissue culture cells results in supernumerary foci bearing the centriolar protein Centrin. Here, we chara ...

Live imaging screen reveals that TYRO3 and GAK ensure accurate spindle positioning in human cells

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf

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 ...

TRACMIT: An effective pipeline for tracking and analyzing cells on micropatterns through mitosis

Pierre Gönczy, Benita Wolf, Olivier Burri, Arne Seitz

The use of micropatterns has transformed investigations of dynamic biological processes by enabling the reproducible analysis of live cells using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy. With micropatterns, thousands of individual cells can be efficiently image ...

Zika virus causes supernumerary foci with centriolar proteins and impaired spindle positioning

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf

Zika virus (ZIKV) causes congenital microcephaly. Although ZIKV can impair cell cycle progression and provoke apoptosis, which probably contributes to disease aetiology through depletion of neural progenitor cells, additional cellular mechanisms may be imp ...
