A fluorescent multi-domain protein reveals the unfolding mechanism of Hsp70

Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Goloubinoff, Satyam Tiwari, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Salvatore Assenza

Detailed understanding of the mechanism by which Hsp70 chaperones protect cells against protein aggregation is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive characterization of the aggregates, which are typically heterogeneous. Here we designed a reporter chaper ...

Spatial control of nucleoporin condensation by fragile X-related proteins

Alessandro Berto

Nucleoporins (Nups) build highly organized nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) at the nuclear envelope (NE). Several Nups assemble into a sieve-like hydrogel within the central channel of the NPCs. In the cytoplasm, the soluble Nups exist, but how their assembly ...

A high-content RNAi screen reveals multiple roles for long noncoding RNAs in cell division

Christina Ernst

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 ...

Torsin ATPases influence chromatin interaction of the Torsin regulator LAP1

Rudolf Hovius, Beat Fierz

The inner nuclear membrane is functionalized by diverse transmembrane proteins that associate with nuclear lamins and/or chromatin. When cells enter mitosis, membrane-chromatin contacts must be broken to allow for proper chromosome segregation; yet how thi ...

The role of histone tails in nucleosome stability: An electrostatic perspective

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

We propose a methodology for the study of protein-DNA electrostatic interactions and apply it to clarify the effect of histone tails in nucleosomes. This method can be used to correlate electrostatic interactions to structural and functional features of pr ...

Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

Mahé Cécile Raccaud

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/non-specific DNA binding affinity. How these properties affect the ability of TFs to occupy their specific binding sites in the genome and modify the epige ...

Multi-phosphorylation reaction and clustering tune Pom1 gradient mid-cell levels according to cell size

Suliana Manley, Anna Archetti, Lina Carlini, Charlotte Sophia Floderer, Thaïs Reichler

Protein concentration gradients pattern developing organisms and single cells. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe rod-shaped cells, Pom1 kinase forms gradients with maxima at cell poles. Pom1 controls the timing of mitotic entry by inhibiting Cdr2, which forms s ...

Flagellar 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 ...

Premature activation of Cdk1 leads to mitotic events in S phase and embryonic lethality

Patricia Renck Nunes

Cell cycle regulation, especially faithful DNA replication and mitosis, are crucial to maintain genome stability. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)/cyclin complexes drive most processes in cellular proliferation. In response to DNA damage, cell cycle surveilla ...

Structure and Activity of the Type VI Secretion System

Nicolas Olmo Flaugnatti

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a multiprotein machine that uses a spring-like mechanism to inject effectors into target cells. The injection apparatus is composed of a baseplate on which is built a contractile tail tube/sheath complex. The inner tu ...
