In the budding yeast , exit from mitosis is coupled to spindle position to ensure successful genome partitioning between mother and daughter cells. This coupling occurs through a GTPase signaling cascade known as the mitotic exit network (MEN). The MEN senses spindle position via a Ras-like GTPase Tem1 which localizes to the spindle pole bodies (SPBs, yeast equivalent of centrosomes) during anaphase and signals to its effector protein kinase Cdc15.

Higher levels of aneuploidy, characterized by imbalanced chromosome numbers, are associated with lethal progression in prostate cancer. However, how aneuploidy contributes to prostate cancer aggressiveness remains poorly understood. In this study, we assessed in patients which genes on chromosome 8q, one of the most frequently gained chromosome arms in prostate tumors, were most strongly associated with long-term risk of cancer progression to metastases and death from prostate cancer (lethal disease) in 403 patients and found the strongest candidate was cohesin subunit gene, , with an odds ratio of 3.

Constitutional trisomy 21 (T21) is a state of aneuploidy associated with high incidence of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). T21-associated AML is preceded by transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM), which is triggered by truncating mutations in GATA1 generating a short GATA1 isoform (GATA1s). T21-associated AML emerges due to secondary mutations in hematopoietic clones bearing GATA1s.

Prolonged cell cycle arrests occur naturally in differentiated cells and in response to various stresses such as nutrient deprivation or treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Whether and how cells survive prolonged cell cycle arrests is not clear. Here, we used to compare physiological cell cycle arrests and genetically induced arrests in G1-, meta- and anaphase.
