H E direct approach to the problem of the mechanism of chromosome T breakage and reattachment-namely, an analysis of the end results following radiation-has not as yet yielded a wholly satisfying answer, although our understanding of the limitations within which the mechanism operates has been considerably broadened, and its complexity has been recognized. An indirect approach has been made by ...
Significance CENP-A, the histone H3 variant that forms a unique centromeric chromatin, is essential for faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. Inability to connect centromere mitotic spindle causes aneuploidy, hallmark of many cancers. In addition missegregation, fusions at (peri)centromeres are prevalent in cancers, but how such rearrangements arise remains unclear. Here, we identifie...
We have introduced a 6.5 Mb human mini-chromosome with a complex centromere structure into DT40 cells and have used sequence targeting and telomere-directed chromosome breakage to dissect the sequence requirements for centromere function. These experiments proved that a vertebrate centromere with two blocks of functional alphoid DNA separated by 2.5 Mb can exist as a stable structure in some bu...
Fanconi anemia (FA) is characterized by congenital abnormalities, bone marrow failure, chromosome fragility, and cancer susceptibility. Eight FA-associated genes have been identified so far, the products of which function in the FA/BRCA pathway. A key event in the pathway is the monoubiquitination of the FANCD2 protein, which depends on a multiprotein FA core complex. In a number of patients, s...
Telomere loss was produced during development of Drosophila melanogaster by breakage of an induced dicentric chromosome. The most prominent outcome of this event is cell death through Chk2 and Chk1 controlled p53-dependent apoptotic pathways. A third p53-independent apoptotic pathway is additionally utilized when telomere loss is accompanied by the generation of significant aneuploidy. In spite...
To investigate the role of DNA strand breakage as the molecular lesion responsible for initiating genomic instability, five different strand-breaking agents, bleomycin, neocarzinostatin, hydrogen peroxide, restriction endonucleases, and ionizing radiation, were examined for their capacity to induce delayed chromosomal instability. These studies used GM10115 human-hamster hybrid cells, which con...
The genome sequence of Streptomyces rimosus R6-500, an industrially improved strain which produces high titers of the important antibiotic oxytetracycline, is reported, as well as the genome sequences of two derivatives arising due to the genetic instability of the strain.
In Tetrahymena, as in other ciliates, development of the somatic macronucleus during conjugation involves extensive and reproducible rearrangements of the germ line genome, including chromosome fragmentation and excision of internal eliminated sequences (IESs). The molecular mechanisms controlling these events are poorly understood. To investigate the role that histone acetylation may play in t...
