A NIMA homologue promotes chromatin condensation in fission yeast.
Entry into mitosis requires p34(cdc2), which activates downstream mitotic events through phosphorylation of key target proteins. In Aspergillus nidulans, the NIMA protein kinase has been identified as a potential downstream target and plays a role in regulating chromatin condensation at mitosis. nimA- mutants arrest in a state that physically resembles interphase even though p34(cdc2) is fully ...
متن کاملBiological Dose Assessment by Chemical Induction of Premature Chromosome Condensation
Dose assessment of radiation victims is a key element in medical management of radiation accidents. At high radiation doses (> 6 Gy), dicentric assay lose its efficiency and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) assay was proposed to overcome the restrictions of dicentric assay. It was shown that PCC ring is more suitable and simpler than dicentric for biodosimetry in high radiation doses. In...
متن کاملATR inhibition selectively sensitizes G1 checkpoint-deficient cells to lethal premature chromatin condensation.
Premature chromatin condensation (PCC) is a hallmark of mammalian cells that begin mitosis before completing DNA replication. This lethal event is prevented by a highly conserved checkpoint involving an unknown, caffeine-sensitive mediator. Here, we have examined the possible involvement of the caffeine-sensitive ATM and ATR protein kinases in this checkpoint. We show that caffeine's ability to...
متن کاملTranscriptional coactivator PC4, a chromatin-associated protein, induces chromatin condensation.
Human transcriptional coactivator PC4 is a highly abundant multifunctional protein which plays diverse important roles in cellular processes, including transcription, replication, and repair. It is also a unique activator of p53 function. Here we report that PC4 is a bona fide component of chromatin with distinct chromatin organization ability. PC4 is predominantly associated with the chromatin...
متن کاملPremature chromosome condensation in human leukemia.
Premature chromosome condensation (PCC) has previously been observed in tissue culture and is believed to arise from asynchronous mitotic activity in multinucleated cells in which the affected nucleus is in interphase and at least one nucleus is in metaphase. Such cells have been noted following fusion induced by virus infection, spontaneously, and after treatment with cytochalasin B. The pheno...
