Condensin is enriched in the pericentromere of budding yeast chromosomes where it is constrained to the spindle axis in metaphase. Pericentric condensin contributes to chromatin compaction, resistance to microtubule-based spindle forces, and spindle length and variance regulation. Condensin is clustered along the spindle axis in a heterogeneous fashion. We demonstrate that pericentric enrichment of condensin is mediated by interactions with transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) genes and their regulatory factors. This recruitment is important for generating axial tension on the pericentromere and coordinating movement between pericentromeres from different chromosomes. The interaction between condensin and tRNA genes in the pericentromere reveals a feature of yeast centromeres that has profound implications for the function and evolution of mitotic segregation mechanisms.

Department of Otolaryngology & Head and Neck, Liuzhou Worker's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, 156 Heping Road, Liuzhou, 545007, China.
Background: Mutations in the LARS2 gene are correlated with Perrault syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, that is typically characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and ovarian insufficiency.
Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and mutational analysis were employed to identify hearing loss-causing genes in a Chinese family from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Clinical phenotypes, audiological data, and color Doppler ultrasound of the family were collected, and a series of computer software were used to analyze the impact of genetic variations on protein structure and function.

Background: Immunotherapy that targets immune checkpoints has achieved revolutionary success, but its application in solid tumors remains limited, highlighting the need for reliable enhancement of the efficacy of immunotherapy. Golgi protein 73 (GP73), a Golgi membrane protein, has been implicated in various cellular processes, including immune regulation. Recent studies suggested that GP73 may play a role in modulating the immune response in patients with cancer.
