The suppression of homologous recombination in G1 depends on BRCA1–PALB2–BRCA2 complex formation at sites of damage. In mitosis, DNA repair factors prevent the formation of DNA damage by facilitating mitotic replication.
Cep135, Ana1 (Cep295) and Asterless (Cep152) are sequentially recruited to daughter centrioles to enable their maturation into duplication-competent mother centrioles.
Analyses ofDrosophila melanogasterpolytene chromosomes elucidate the interconnections between gene expression, genome organization into topologically associated domains (TADs) and the structures of euchromatin and heterochromatin.
DNA damage repair is in the spotlight this year — the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015 was awarded to Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar “for mechanistic studies of DNA repair”.
The ubiquitylation enzyme cullin 3 and its adaptor KBTBD8 mediate stem cell specification into neural crest by modulating the translation of a specific set of mRNAs.
Current research illustrates that various proteins, implicated in both physiological and pathological processes, can undergo phase separation to form liquid droplets.
