CENP-C Is Involved in Chromosome Segregation, Mitotic Checkpoint Function, and Kinetochore Assembly

Kwon, Mi-Sun, Hori, Tetsuya, Okada, Masahiro, Fukagawa, Tatsuo

CENP-C is a conserved inner kinetochore component. To understand the precise roles of CENP-C in the kinetochore, we created a cell line with a conditional knockout of CENP-C with the...

The human Mis12 complex is required for kinetochore assembly and proper chromosome segregation

Kline, Susan L., Cheeseman, Iain M., Hori, Tetsuya, Fukagawa, Tatsuo, Desai, Arshad

During cell division, kinetochores form the primary chromosomal attachment sites for spindle microtubules. We previously identified a network of 10 interacting kinetochore proteins conserved between...

A novel histone exchange factor, protein phosphatase 2Cγ, mediates the exchange and dephosphorylation of H2A–H2B

Kimura, Hiroshi, Takizawa, Nanako, Allemand, Eric, Hori, Tetsuya, Iborra, Francisco J., Nozaki, Naohito, ...

In eukaryotic nuclei, DNA is wrapped around a protein octamer composed of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, forming nucleosomes as the fundamental units of chromatin. The modification and...

KNL1 and the CENP-H/I/K Complex Coordinately Direct Kinetochore Assembly in Vertebrates

Cheeseman, Iain M., Hori, Tetsuya, Fukagawa, Tatsuo, Desai, Arshad

Chromosome segregation during mitosis requires the assembly of a large proteinaceous structure termed the kinetochore. In Caenorhabditis elegans, KNL-1 is required to target multiple outer...

CENP-O Class Proteins Form a Stable Complex and Are Required for Proper Kinetochore Function

Hori, Tetsuya, Okada, Masahiro, Maenaka, Katsumi, Fukagawa, Tatsuo

We previously identified a multisubunit complex (CENP-H/I complex) in kinetochores from human and chicken cells. We showed that the CENP-H/I complex is divided into three functional classes. In the...

Crystal Structure of Squid Rhodopsin with Intracellularly Extended Cytoplasmic Region*S⃞

Shimamura, Tatsuro, Hiraki, Kenji, Takahashi, Naoko, Hori, Tetsuya, Ago, Hideo, Masuda, Katsuyoshi, ...

G-protein-coupled receptors play a key step in cellular signal transduction cascades by transducing various extracellular signals via G-proteins. Rhodopsin is a prototypical G-protein-coupled...
