For more than 15 years, TPX2 has been studied as a factor critical for mitosis and spindle
assembly. These functions of TPX2 are attributed to its Ran-regulated microtubule …

Plants have unique microtubule (MT) arrays, cortical MTs, preprophase band, mitotic
spindle, and phragmoplast, in the processes of evolution. These MT arrays control the …

In Arabidopsis, mitogen-activated protein kinases MPK3, MPK4, and MPK6 constitute
essential relays for a variety of functions including cell division, development and innate …

Mitosis is the process by which eukaryotic cells organize and segregate their chromosomes
in preparation for cell division. It is accomplished by a cellular machine composed largely of …

A hallmark of neurogenesis in the vertebrate brain is the apical–basal nuclear oscillation in
polarized neural progenitor cells. Known as interkinetic nuclear migration (INM), these …

During mitosis and meiosis, microtubule (MT) assembly is locally upregulated by the
chromatin-dependent Ran-GTP pathway. One of its key targets is the MT-associated spindle …

The nuclear envelope (NE) is a highly active structure with a specific set of nuclear envelope
proteins acting in diverse cellular events. SUN proteins are conserved NE proteins among …

The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton provides the architecture that governs intracellular
organization and the regulated motion of macromolecules through the crowded cytoplasm …

To establish three-dimensional structures/organs, plant cells continuously have to adapt the
orientation of their division plane in a highly regulated manner. However, mechanisms …

RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is an epigenetic process that directs silencing to
specific genomic regions and loci. The biological functions of RdDM are not well studied in …
