Article Synopsis
- - The centromere, crucial for chromosome stability, relies on CENP-A-containing nucleosomes for proper microtubule attachment during cell division.
- - The Mis18 complex, consisting of Mis18α, Mis18β, and Mis18BP1, plays a key role in maintaining centromere identity by facilitating CENP-A loading through its specific chaperone, HJURP.
- - Research reveals the structure of the Mis18 complex and identifies key interactions needed for assembly and function, emphasizing that while Mis18α can associate with the centromere independently, Mis18β is essential for effective CENP-A loading.
Resistance to drought stress is fundamental to plant survival and development. Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the major hormones involved in different types of abiotic and biotic stress responses. ABA intracellular signaling has been extensively explored in and occurs a phosphorylation cascade mediated by three related protein kinases, denominated SnRK2s (SNF1-related protein kinases).

In 2010, nearly 10 million people in whole world, most from Latin America, had Chagas disease, which is an illness of high morbidity, low mortality, and serious problems of quality of life. The available treatment has high toxicity and low efficacy at chronic phase.
