Chromatin tethers to the nuclear envelope are lost during mitosis to facilitate chromosome segregation. How these connections are reestablished to ensure functional genome organization in interphase is unclear. Ptak et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202103036) identify a phosphorylation and SUMOylation-dependent cascade that links chromatin to the nuclear membrane during late mitosis.

The review describes tissue-specific and non-cell autonomous molecular responses regulating the root system architecture and function in plants. Phenotypic plasticity of roots relies on specific molecular and tissue specific responses towards local and microscale heterogeneity in edaphic factors. Unlike gravitropism, hydrotropism in Arabidopsis is regulated by MIZU KUSSIE1 (MIZ1)-dependent asymmetric distribution of cytokinin and activation of Arabidopsis response regulators, ARR16 and ARR17 on the lower water potential side of the root leading to higher cell division and root bending.

As eukaryotic cells progress through cell division, the nuclear envelope (NE) membrane must expand to accommodate the formation of progeny nuclei. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, closed mitosis allows visualization of NE biogenesis during mitosis. During this period, the SUMO E3 ligase Siz2 binds the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and initiates a wave of INM protein SUMOylation.

The objective of this study is to describe the alterations occurring during the neurodegenerative process in skin fibroblast cultures from patients. We characterized the oxidative stress, autophagy flux, small ubiquitin-related protein SUMO2/3 levels as well as the mitochondrial function in skin fibroblast cultures from patients. All metabolic and bioenergetic findings were further correlated with gene expression data obtained from RNA sequencing analysis.

In eukaryotes, chromatin binding to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) contributes to spatial organization of the genome and epigenetic programs important for gene expression. In mitosis, chromatin-nuclear envelope (NE) interactions are lost and then formed again as sister chromosomes segregate to postmitotic nuclei. Investigating these processes in S.
