A conserved function for pericentromeric satellite DNA

Y. M. Yamashita, M. Jagannathan, R. Cummings

This study shows that pericentromeric satellite DNA is essential for bundling chromosomes into chromocenters, preventing micronuclei formation and ensuring genome packaging within a single nucleus.

Cytokine receptor-Eb1 interaction couples cell polarity and fate during asymmetric cell division

Y. M. Yamashita, C. Chen, A. Mordovanakis, A. J. Hunt, M. Mayer, R. Cummings, D. Sept

The paper identifies a novel mechanism where the cytokine receptor Dome interacts with Eb1 to regulate spindle orientation in Drosophila GSCs, linking cell polarity to fate without involving the JAK-STAT pathway.
