Repo-Man/PP1 regulates heterochromatin formation in interphase (2017)
Journal Article
Castro, I., Budzak, J., Di Giacinto, M. L., Ligammari, L., Gokhan, E., Spanos, C., …Vagnarelli, P. (2017). Repo-Man/PP1 regulates heterochromatin formation in interphase. Nature Communications, 8, Article 14048. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14048

Repo-Man is a protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) targeting subunit that regulates mitotic progression and chromatin remodelling. After mitosis, Repo-Man/PP1 remains associated with chromatin but its function in interphase is not known. Here we show that Rep...

Intermediate filaments are major cytoskeletal components whose assembly into complex networks and isotype-specific functions are still largely unknown. Caenorhabditis elegans provides an excellent model system to study intermediate filament organizat... Read More about A novel function for the MAP kinase SMA-5 in intestinal tube stability.

The SCAR/WAVE complex is required for ARP2/3-mediated actin nucleation, and these complexes are highly conserved in plants and animals [1 and 2]. Proteins from the SCAR/WAVE complex have been found to be membrane associated in plants [3]. Using fluor... Read More about Arabidopsis NAP1 regulates the formation of autophagosomes.

The cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network in plants is a highly dynamic structure, and it contacts the plasma membrane (PM) at ER-PM anchor/contact sites. These sites are known to be essential for communication between the ER and PM for lipid t...
