Another passenger on chromosomes

Another passenger on chromosomes

A synaptic scaffold quiets T cells scaffolding protein at neuronal synapses has found its way to another kind of synapse—the immune synapse, which forms at the interface between antigen presenting cells and T cells. As shown by Xavier et al. on page 173, this multi-domain protein, called Dlg1, tempers the activity of both types of synapses. On the T cell side of the immune syn-apse, activated T...

Chromosome passenger complex is required for the survival of cells with ring chromosomes in fission yeast

Ring chromosomes are circular chromosomal abnormalities that have been reported in association with some genetic disorders and cancers. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, lack of function of protection of telomere 1 (Pot1) or telomerase catalytic subunit (Trt1) results in survivors with circular chromosomes. Hitherto, it is poorly understood how cells with circular chromosomes survive and how circul...
