An unconventional regulatory circuitry involving Aurora B controls anaphase onset and error-free chromosome segregation in trypanosomes

D. Ballmer, H. J. Lou, M. Ishii, B. E. Turk, B. Akiyoshi

This study shows that Aurora B and KKT14 form an unconventional regulatory pathway controlling mitotic exit and chromosome segregation in trypanosomes.

Kinetoplastid kinetochore proteins KKT14-KKT15 are divergent Bub1/BubR1-Bub3 proteins

D. Ballmer, W. Carter, J. J. E. van Hooff, E. C. Tromer, M. Ishii, P. Ludzia, B. Akiyoshi

This study identifies KKT14-KKT15 in kinetoplastids as divergent orthologs of Bub1/BubR1-Bub3, suggesting a unique mechanism for chromosome segregation fidelity in trypanosomes.

Dynamic localization of the chromosomal passenger complex is controlled by the orphan kinesins KIN-A and KIN-B in the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei

D. Ballmer, B. Akiyoshi

This study identifies KIN-A and KIN-B as essential components of the chromosomal passenger complex in Trypanosoma brucei, showing they mediate CPC localization to kinetochores and the central spindle through distinct domains.

Successful mating and hybridisation in two closely related flatworm species despite significant differences in reproductive morphology and behaviour

P. Singh, D. Ballmer, M. Laubscher, L. Schärer

This study examines mating behavior and hybridization between two closely related flatworm species despite differences in reproductive morphology and behavior, finding that while they can hybridize, postmating barriers and mating rate differences exist.
