    The ATM-E6AP-MASTL axis mediates DNA damage checkpoint recovery

    Yanqiu Li, Feifei Wang ... Aimin Peng
    The initiation of DNA damage checkpoint recovery involves ATM-mediated E3 ubiquitin ligase E6AP phosphorylation which disrupts E6AP-MASTL association and leads to MASTL protein accumulation and cell cycle resumption.

    Probing the catalytic functions of Bub1 kinase using the small molecule inhibitors BAY-320 and BAY-524

    Anna P Baron, Conrad von Schubert ... Erich A Nigg
    Chemical inhibition of Bub1 shows that the catalytic activity is not required for normal mitotic progression, but it makes chromosome segregation and cell proliferation more sensitive to the effects of the anti-cancer drug Paclitaxel.

    Aurora-A mediated histone H3 phosphorylation of threonine 118 controls condensin I and cohesin occupancy in mitosis

    Candice L Wike, Hillary K Graves ... Jessica K Tyler
    A histone modification that alters the nucleosome structure occurs in mitosis and promotes chromosome packaging and the timely removal of condensin I and cohesion, to achieve chromosome segregation.

    Cross-compartment signal propagation in the mitotic exit network

    Xiaoxue Zhou, Wenxue Li ... Angelika Amon
    The mitotic exit network signals from spindle pole bodies to the nucleolus through the dynamic localization of its terminal kinase complex Dbf2-Mob1.

    MELK expression correlates with tumor mitotic activity but is not required for cancer growth

    Christopher J Giuliano, Ann Lin ... Jason M Sheltzer
    Cancer cells can grow in vitro and in vivo in the absence of maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK).

    Cortical regulation of cell size by a sizer cdr2p

    Kally Z Pan, Timothy E Saunders ... Fred Chang
    It is shown that fission yeast cells sense their size by measuring their surface area through a membrane-associated sizer protein cdr2p.

    TRAIP drives replisome disassembly and mitotic DNA repair synthesis at sites of incomplete DNA replication

    Remi Sonneville, Rahul Bhowmick ... Karim Labib
    The TRAIP ubiquitin ligase is required during mitosis to disassemble the replisome at sites of incomplete DNA replication, and activate the mitotic DNA repair pathway, thus preserving genome integrity.

    Stable Pom1 clusters form a glucose-modulated concentration gradient that regulates mitotic entry

    Corey A H Allard, Hannah E Opalko, James B Moseley
    Dynamic signaling protein clusters sample and map the cell surface to ensure that cells divide at the proper size.

    PLK-1 promotes the merger of the parental genome into a single nucleus by triggering lamina disassembly

    Griselda Velez-Aguilera, Sylvia Nkombo Nkoula ... Lionel Pintard
    The polo-like kinase (Plk1) phophorylates the C. elegans lamin LMN-1 to promote timely lamina disassembly, which is essential for the merging of the parental chromosomes at the beginning of life.
