Reduction of cortical pulling at mitotic entry facilitates aster centration

A. Rosfelter, G. de Labbey, J. Chenevert, R. Dumollard, S. Schaub, Z. Machaty, L. Besnardeau, C. Hebras, H. Turlier, D. Burgess, a. mcdougall

The paper shows that cortical pulling is reduced at mitotic entry, allowing cytoplasmic pulling and proximal cortical pushing to center the mitotic apparatus in zygotes.

Acquisition of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint and its modulation by cell fate and cell size in a chordate embryo

M. Roca, L. Besnardeau, E. Christians, A. McDougall, J. Chenevert, S. Castagnetti

The paper shows that the SAC is acquired in chordate embryos during the 7th cell cycle and modulates mitotic progression based on cell fate and size.

The spindle assembly checkpoint functions during early development in non-chordate embryos.

J. Chenevert, M. Roca, L. Besnardeau, A. Ruggiero, D. Nabi, A. McDougall, R. R. Copley, E. Christians, S. Castagnetti

The paper evaluates SAC activation in early embryos of diverse metazoan species, finding two classes of embryos with or without SAC proficiency, and suggests SAC activity is default in metazoans, silenced in chordates.

Kif2 microtubule depolymerase is required for unequal cell division and localizes to a subdomain of cortical endoplasmic reticulum

V. Costache, C. Hebras, G. Pruliere, L. Besnardeau, M. Failla, R. R. Copley, D. Burgess, J. Chenevert, A. McDougall

This study identifies Kif2 as a microtubule depolymerase required for unequal cell division, showing its localization to a cortical endoplasmic reticulum subdomain and its role in spindle asymmetry.
