Resolution of ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) must be completed before cytokinesis to ensure sister-chromatid disjunction. RIF1 is involved in UFB resolution by a mechanism that is not yet clear. Here, we show that RIF1 functions in mitosis to inhibit the formation of 53BP1 nuclear bodies and micronuclei. Meanwhile, RIF1 localizes on PICH-coated double-stranded UFBs but not on RPA-coated single-stranded UFBs. Depletion of RIF1 leads to an elevated level of RPA-coated UFBs, in a BLM-dependent manner. RIF1 interacts with all three isoforms of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) at its CI domain in anaphase when CDK1 activity declines. CDK1 negatively regulates RIF1-PP1 interaction via the CIII domain of RIF1. Importantly, depletion of PP1 phenocopies RIF1 depletion, and phosphorylation-resistant mutant of PICH shows reduced interaction with the BTR complex and bypasses the need of RIF1 in preventing the formation of single-stranded UFBs. Overall, our data show that PP1 is the effector of RIF1 in UFB resolution.

Current temporal studies of DNA replication are either low-resolution or require complex cell synchronisation and/or sorting procedures. Here we introduce Nanotiming, a single-molecule, nanopore sequencing-based method producing high-resolution, telomere-to-telomere replication timing (RT) profiles of eukaryotic genomes by interrogating changes in intracellular dTTP concentration during S phase through competition with its analogue bromodeoxyuridine triphosphate (BrdUTP) for incorporation into replicating DNA. This solely demands the labelling of asynchronously growing cells with an innocuous dose of BrdU during one doubling time followed by BrdU quantification along nanopore reads.

Our recently created RNA-sequence-based microRNA (miRNA) expression signature in breast cancer clinical specimens revealed that some family members were significantly downregulated in cancer tissues. Based on TCGA database analyses, we observed that among the family members, (the passenger strand derived from pre-) was significantly downregulated in breast cancer (BC) clinical specimens, and its low expression predicted worse prognoses. Ectopic expression assays showed that transfected cancer cells (MDA-MB-157 and MDA-MB-231) had their aggressive phenotypes significantly suppressed, e.

Incomplete sister centromere decatenation results in centromeric ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs). PICH (PLK1-interacting checkpoint helicase), a DNA translocase, plays a crucial role in UFB resolution by recruiting UFB-binding proteins and stimulating topoisomerase IIα. However, the involvement of distinct PICH functions in UFB resolution remains ambiguous.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of genes related to fatty acid metabolism on periodontitis using machine learning and bioinformatics, focusing on datasets from GEO and GeneCards.
- - Researchers identified 113 differentially expressed fatty acid metabolism-related genes, conducting detailed analyses that highlighted their links to immune responses and identified 8 key genes for diagnosis.
- - The findings led to the creation of a diagnostic model with a high accuracy (AUC=0.967) and suggested a correlation between these genes and immune cell types, potentially aiding future diagnosis and treatment strategies for periodontitis.

RIF1 (RAP1 interacting factor) fulfills diverse roles in DNA double-strand break repair, DNA replication, and nuclear organization. RIF1 is expressed as two splice variants, RIF1-Long (RIF1-L) and RIF1-Short (RIF1-S), from the alternative splicing (AS) of Exon 32 (Ex32) which encodes a 26 aa Ser/Lys-rich cassette peptide in the RIF1 C-terminal domain (CTD). Here we demonstrate that Ex32 inclusion was repressed by DNA damage and oncogenesis but peaked at G/M phase of the cell cycle.
