The process that preserves the centromere, the hub that ensures DNA divides correctly during cell division, has been revealed
@JPLab_ study in @ScienceMagazine explains how the PLK1 protein ensures each new cell has a centromere in the right location
➡️ edin.ac/3XwK3Fr
ALT Unravelling the key to the centromere’s eternal life. Mitotic spindle, the cell division machinery made of microtubule filaments, attaching to the centromeres to segregate identical copies of the cell’s DNA during cell division.

Excited to share our latest preprint demonstrating the requirement of the RNA methyltransferase activity of SPOUT1/CENP-32 to maintain the integrity of chromosome segregation apparatus, the mitosis spindle and its link to a previously uncharacterised neurodevelopmental disorder.

Last week P5 and P6 had a zoom call with our partner school in Nepal to learn all about their amazing country. We learned so many new things and are looking forward to swapping some ideas for playground games with our friends soon!
