The fragmentation/re-formation process of the Golgi apparatus during mitosis was studied by flotation centrifugation in a stepwise sucrose density gradient. The mitotic Golgi fraction was obtained from Chinese hamster ovary cells synchronized with thymidine and nocodazole. The Golgi apparatus detected by a marker enzyme, galactosyltransferase, was separated into two peaks by the flotation centrifugation. The amount of the Golgi recovered at the lower density peak was less in the mitotic cells than in the interphase cells. The separation profile of the mitotic Golgi returned to that of the interphase Golgi by further incubation of the mitotic cells. The re-formation of the fragmented Golgi was inhibited by nocodazole and vinblastine, but not by actinomycin D and cycloheximide.

Previous data show that the knockdown of the gene in the MDA-MB-231 cell line leads to the downregulation of gene expression. In addition, and genes are co-expressed and dysregulated in some of the same triple negative breast cancer patient samples. We propose that the co-expression of the two genes is attributed to the MYBL1 transcription factor regulation of the gene.

Unlabelled: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) travel from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the condensed (mitotic) chromosomes during mitosis. Partially uncoated HPV capsids utilize a unique vesicular structure for trafficking and nuclear import, which is directed by the minor capsid protein L2. However, it is still unknown which precise factors facilitate post-TGN HPV trafficking to the nucleus.

In mammalian cells, the Golgi apparatus undergoes fragmentation for its correct partition into two daughter cells during mitosis. Several Golgi structural proteins have been demonstrated to regulate Golgi disassembly/reassembly and spindle formation. However, it is largely unknown whether Golgi proteins mediate other major events in mitosis.

The analysis begins with a detailed examination of the gene expression and protein structure of KIF20A, highlighting its interaction with critical cellular components that influence key processes such as Golgi membrane transport and mitotic spindle assembly. The primary focus is on the development of specific KIF20A inhibitors, detailing their roles and the challenges encountered in enhancing their efficacy, such as achieving specificity, overcoming tumor resistance, and optimizing delivery systems. Additionally, it delves into the prognostic value of KIF20A across multiple cancer types, emphasizing its role as a novel tumor-associated antigen, which lays the groundwork for the development of targeted peptide vaccines.

Amino acid transporters play a vital role in cellular homeostasis by maintaining protein synthesis. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1/SLC7A5/CD98lc) is a major transporter of large neutral amino acids in cancer cells because of its predominant expression. Although amino acid restriction with various amino acid analog treatments is known to induce mitotic defects, the involvement of amino acid transporters in cell division remains unclear.
