The effect of the RNase from Bacillus intermedius on the growth and trophic cycle of Candida utilis was studied. The RNase at concentrations of 0.001-0.01 microgram/ml stimulated yeast growth by 30-40% as compared to the control, reduced the mitotic cycle of the yeast by shortening its G1 phase, and decreased the number of exotrophic cells in the G1 phase to a minimum. It was suggested that RNase is involved in the regulation of the transition of cells from the exo- to endotrophic state.

REV7, also known as MAD2B, MAD2L2, and FANCV, is a HORMA-domain family protein crucial to multiple genome stability pathways. REV7's canonical role is as a member of polymerase ζ, a specialized translesion synthesis polymerase essential for DNA damage tolerance. REV7 also ensures accurate cell cycle progression and prevents premature mitotic progression by sequestering an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome activator.

Spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) inhibitors are a recently developed class of drugs, which perturb chromosome segregation during cell division, induce chromosomal instability (CIN), and eventually lead to cell death. The molecular features that determine cellular sensitivity to these drugs are not fully understood. We recently reported that aneuploid cancer cells are preferentially sensitive to SAC inhibition.

Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a primary, slow-growing brain tumor; however, its treatment and prognosis remain challenging. In this study, we analyzed cancer data from the TCGA database, focusing particularly on the expression of the CDKN3 gene in LGG. The results showed that high CDKN3 expression in LGG patients was significantly associated with poor survival outcomes.

Phosphorylation of substrates by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is the driving force of cell cycle progression. Several CDK-activating cyclins are involved, yet how they contribute to substrate specificity is still poorly understood. Here, we discover that a positively charged pocket in cyclin B1, which is exclusively conserved within B-type cyclins and binds phosphorylated serine- or threonine-residues, is essential for correct execution of mitosis.
