Cell biologist exploring how genomic DNA folds into chromosomes by biochemical reconstitution.

[Keishi Shintomi @ShintomiK]

Excited to share our preprint! We rebuilt and dismantled mitotic chromosomes from recombinant proteins, revealing with new assays how condensin I switches on and off during mitosis.

【#GTC著者コメント #MBSJ】皆さんがよく目にする棒状の染色体は、どのように作られるのでしょうか。染色体が顕微鏡下で初めて観察されてから140年以上経った現在でも、この問いは生物学における重要な未解決課題の一つです。→

Excited to share our new paper! Using a tunable frog egg extract system, we show that nucleosome density and histone dynamics actively shape mitotic chromosome architecture. https://t.co/0OVQGxR5cO

初めての筆頭著者論文が @ScienceAdvances に出ました！✨

リンカーヒストンH1が「液体のり」のように働いてクロマチンをダイナミックに凝縮させている！という発見です。

教科書が書き換えられるかも

Takao Ono, Tatsuya Hirano et al. @riken_en show that #condensin II collaborates with #cohesin to establish and maintain #chromosome territories, revealing a cooperative mechanism supporting large-scale #genome organization in #interphase. https://t.co/F37plMYR0c

数年前に菅島で採取した黒色酵母はとても興味深く、栄養に応じて単細胞と多細胞の姿を切り換えます。その切り換えに必要な遺伝子を見つけました。多細胞生物の進化について示唆を与えてくれます。論文はNature誌に掲載されました。

Our new paper was just out. CRISPR screening with a CENP-C mutant reveals that KIF18A and CENP-E are coordinately involved in chromosome congression. Congrats, Jiahang Miao!!

How is timely and accurate sister chromatid separation achieved?

A process that is happening around 30-50 billion times per minute!!! in the human body needs tight regulation (to avoid cancer development...).

🐸 Ever wonder how frogs help solve cancer mysteries?

At @fredhutch, Dr. Yasuhiro Arimura (@ArmrYshr) is using frog-egg extracts to understand chromatin like never before, revealing structures that could unlock new insights into cancer and cell division: https://t.co/yC0MTkfA0h

Intelligence isn't the ability to remember and repeat, like they teach you in school. It is the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations.

[Dr. Nicolas L. Young @NicolasLYoung]

Today, we introduce a nomenclature that can express discrete PTMs, proteoforms, nucleoforms, or situations where defined PTMs exist in an uncertain context and can describe how proteoforms are configured in functionally distinct complexes across biology. https://t.co/WrMYTXamIe
