Nutrient-Regulated Antisense and Intragenic RNAs Modulate a Signal Transduction Pathway in Yeast (2008)

Masafumi Nishizawa, Tae Komai, Yuki Katou, Katsuhiko Shirahige, Takehiko Ito, Akio Toh-e

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae alters its gene expression profile in response to a change in nutrient availability. The PHO system is a well-studied case in the transcriptional regulation...

Mrc1 and DNA polymerase epsilon function together in linking DNA replication and the S phase checkpoint (2008)

Lou, Huiqiang, Komata, Makiko, Katou, Yuki, Guan, Zhiyun, Reis, Clara C., Budd, Martin, ...

Yeast Mrc1, ortholog of metazoan Claspin, is both a central component of normal DNA replication forks and a mediator of the S phase checkpoint. We report that Mrc1 interacts with Pol2, the catalytic...

Identification of cis-acting sites for condensin loading onto budding yeast chromosomes (2008)

D’Ambrosio, Claudio, Schmidt, Christine Katrin, Katou, Yuki, Kelly, Gavin, Itoh, Takehiko, Shirahige, Katsuhiko, ...

Eukaryotic chromosomes reach their stable rod-shaped appearance in mitosis in a reaction dependent on the evolutionarily conserved condensin complex. Little is known about how and where condensin...

Molecular biology: chromosome guardians on duty (2006)

Riedel, Christian G., Katis, Vittorio L., Katou, Yuki, Mori, Saori, Itoh, Takehiko, Helmhart, Wolfgang, ...

Segregation of homologous maternal and paternal centromeres to opposite poles during meiosis I depends on post-replicative crossing over between homologous non-sister chromatids, which creates...

Displacement and re-accumulation of centromeric cohesin during transient pre-anaphase centromere splitting

Ocampo-Hafalla, Maria T., Katou, Yuki, Shirahige, Katsuhiko, Uhlmann, Frank

The ring-shaped cohesin complex links sister chromatids until their timely segregation during mitosis. Cohesin is enriched at centromeres where it provides the cohesive counterforce to bipolar...

Meiotic cohesins modulate chromosome compaction during meiotic prophase in fission yeast

Ding, Da-Qiao, Sakurai, Nobuko, Katou, Yuki, Itoh, Takehiko, Shirahige, Katsuhiko, Haraguchi, Tokuko, ...

The meiotic cohesin Rec8 is required for the stepwise segregation of chromosomes during the two rounds of meiotic division. By directly measuring chromosome compaction in living cells of the fission...

Genome-wide localization of pre-RC sites and identification of replication origins in fission yeast

Hayashi, Makoto, Katou, Yuki, Itoh, Takehiko, Tazumi, Mitsutoshi, Yamada, Yoshiki, Takahashi, Tatsuro, ...

DNA replication of eukaryotic chromosomes initiates at a number of discrete loci, called replication origins. Distribution and regulation of origins are important for complete duplication of the...

Rec8 Guides Canonical Spo11 Distribution along Yeast Meiotic Chromosomes

Kugou, Kazuto, Fukuda, Tomoyuki, Yamada, Shintaro, Ito, Masaru, Sasanuma, Hiroyuki, Mori, Saori, ...

Spo11-mediated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are temporally and spatially controlled. The meiotic cohesin Rec8 has been implicated in regulating DSB formation,...

Rad51 suppresses gross chromosomal rearrangement at centromere in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Nakamura, Ken-ichi, Okamoto, Aya, Katou, Yuki, Yadani, Chie, Shitanda, Takeshi, Kaweeteerawat, Chitrada, ...

Centromere that plays a pivotal role in chromosome segregation is composed of repetitive elements in many eukaryotes. Although chromosomal regions containing repeats are the hotspots of...
