Many enveloped viruses induce multinucleated cells (syncytia), reflective of membrane fusion events caused by the same machinery that underlies viral entry. These syncytia are thought to facilitate replication and evasion of the host immune response. Here, we report that co-culture

The Golgi complex is essential for protein transport and posttranslational modification in mammalian cells. It is critical to know the cisternal distribution of Golgi proteins to understand Golgi functions. The cis-to-trans or axial localization of a Golgi protein can be

Tools for accessing and studying organelles remain underdeveloped. Here, we present a method by which giant organelle vesicles (GOVs) are generated by submitting cells to a hypotonic medium followed by plasma membrane breakage. By this means, GOVs ranging from 3

During the entry process, the human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid is trafficked to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), whereupon it enters the nucleus during mitosis. We previously demonstrated that the minor capsid protein L2 assumes a transmembranous conformation in the TGN. Here

Chromosome segregation errors in mammalian oocyte meiosis lead to developmentally compromised aneuploid embryos and become more common with advancing maternal age. Known contributors include age-related chromosome cohesion loss and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) fallibility in meiosis-I. But how effective the

Sister chromatid cohesion, mediated by cohesin, is required for accurate chromosome segregation [1, 2]. This process requires acetylation of cohesin subunit SMC3 by evolutionarily conserved cohesin acetyltransferases: Eco1 in budding yeast; XEco1 and XEco2 in Xenopus; and ESCO1 and ESCO2 in

The chromatin environment at origins of replication is thought to influence DNA replication initiation in eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains unclear how and which chromatin features control the firing of early-efficient (EE) or late-inefficient (LI) origins. Here, we use site-specific

In oocyte biology, the zona pellucida has long been known to operate three extracellular functions downstream of the secretory pathway, namely, encasing the oocytes in ovarian follicles, mediating sperm-oocyte interaction, and preventing premature embryo contact with oviductal epithelium.

Mammalian oocyte meiotic divisions are highly asymmetric and produce a large haploid gamete and 2 small polar bodies. This relies on the ability of the cell to break symmetry and position its spindle close to the cortex before anaphase occurs.
