    Cohesin reconstitution and homologous recombination repair of DNA double-strand breaks in late mitosis

    Jessel Ayra Plasencia, Sara Medina-Suárez ... Félix Machín
    The cohesin subunit Scc1 returns and reconstitutes the complex with Smc1–Smc3 in late mitosis upon DNA double-strand breaks, although it does not participate in homologous recombination-driven MAT switching.

    Short heat shock factor A2 regulates heat resistance and growth balance in Arabidopsis

    Wanxia Chen, Jiaqi Zhao ... Xiaoting Qi
    Short heat shock factor variants prevent hyperactivation of thermotolerance through a noncanonical heat shock response, thereby balancing heat stress response and plant growth.

    Dissociation of the nuclear basket triggers chromosome loss in aging yeast

    Mihailo Mirkovic, Jordan McCarthy ... Yves Barral
    Aging results in remodeling of the nuclear pore complex and leakage of intron-containing pre-mRNA out of the nucleus, altering gene function and mitotic stability of old cells.
