DNA synthesis in the regenerating liver of mice poisoned with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was inhibited by infusion of hydroxyurea (HU). The infusion was started prior to the beginning of DNA synthesis and continued up to 60-72 h after CCl4 administration. The AFP-containing cells in liver were demonstrated by the immunoperoxidase technique. Phases of the cell cycle were estimated by autoradiography following the administration of [3H] thymidine. Despite the arrest of all proliferating hepatocytes at the G1-S interphase, the pattern of AFP production in the HU-infused mice was the same as in normal regeneration. Serum AFP levels rose from the 2nd up to the 3rd to 4th day after administration of CCl4 and AFP was demonstrated in a small number of hepatocytes, bordering the necrotic areas of the liver. After release from the HU block, hepatocytes synchronously entered S phase. The degree of synchronization was of the same order as the size of the hepatocyte proliferative pool in regenerating liver. AFP was found in all the phases of the mitotic cycle - from G1 to postmitotic cells indicating that there is no direct correlation between AFP production and the phases of the mitotic cycle of hepatocytes in the murine regenerating liver.

One of the most obvious manifestations of the negative impact of space flight factors on the human physiology is osteopenia. With the active development of manned space flights and the increase in the duration of humans' persistence in weightlessness, there is a growing need to understand the mechanisms of changes occurring at the cellular level involved in the replenishment of bone tissue. Using the RNA sequencing method, changes in the transcriptome profile of MMSCs were studied after a 5-day simulation of the microgravity effects.

Cdc25C undergoes a sudden and substantial gel mobility shift at M-phase onset, correlating with abrupt activation of both Cdc25C and Cdk1 activities. A positive feedback loop between Cdk1 and Cdc25C has been used to explain this hallmark phenomenon. Here, we demonstrate that the M-phase supershift and robust activation of Cdc25C are due to the site-comprehensive phosphorylation of its long intrinsically disordered regulatory domain without requiring Cdk1 or other major mitotic kinase activities.

Using an unbiased genetic screen we identify a role for the RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF25 in promoting DNA replication stress tolerance. In response to DNA replication stress, RNF25-deficient cells generate aberrantly high levels of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), accumulate in S-phase and show reduced mitotic entry.

Error-prone translesion polymerases have been shown to switch with high-fidelity replicative polymerases to help navigate repetitive DNA. We and others have demonstrated the importance of one such translesion polymerase, polymerase Eta (pol eta), in facilitating replication at genomic regions called common fragile sites (CFS), which are difficult-to-replicate genomic regions that are hypersensitive to replication stress.

To better understand the function of REXO4 and its relationship to cellular proliferation, we have undertaken multidisciplinary approaches to characterize its cell cycle phase-dependent subcellular localization and the cis determinants required for this localization, its importance to cell cycle progression and cell viability, its protein-protein association network, and its activity. We show that the localization of REXO4 to the nucleolus in interphase depends on an N-terminal nucleolar localization sequence and that its localization to the perichromosomal layer of mitotic chromosomes is dependent on Ki67.
