Centrosome misorientation reduces stem cell division during ageing (2008)

Cheng, Jun, Turkel, Nezaket, Hemati, Nahid, Fuller, Margaret T., Hunt, Alan J., Yamashita, Yukiko M.

Asymmetric division of adult stem cells generates one self- renewing stem cell and one differentiating cell, thereby maintaining tissue homeostasis. A decline in stem cell function has been proposed...

Dynamics of Centromeres during Metaphase–Anaphase Transition in Fission Yeast: Dis1 Is Implicated in Force Balance in Metaphase Bipolar Spindle

Nabeshima, Kentaro, Nakagawa, Takashi, Straight, Aaron F., Murray, Andrew, Chikashige, Yuji, Yamashita, Yukiko M., ...

In higher eukaryotic cells, the spindle forms along with chromosome condensation in mitotic prophase. In metaphase, chromosomes are aligned on the spindle with sister kinetochores facing toward the...

Homologous DNA recombination in vertebrate cells

Sonoda, Eiichiro, Takata, Minoru, Yamashita, Yukiko M., Morrison, Ciaran, Takeda, Shunichi

The RAD52 epistasis group genes are involved in homologous DNA recombination, and their primary structures are conserved from yeast to humans. Although biochemical studies have suggested that the...

RAD18 and RAD54 cooperatively contribute to maintenance of genomic stability in vertebrate cells

Yamashita, Yukiko M., Okada, Takashi, Matsusaka, Takahiro, Sonoda, Eiichiro, Zhao, Guang Yu, Araki, Kasumi, ...

Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) and homologous DNA recombination (HR) are two major pathways that account for survival after post-replicational DNA damage. TLS functions by filling gaps on a daughter...

Functional relationships of FANCC to homologous recombination, translesion synthesis, and BLM

Hirano, Seiki, Yamamoto, Kazuhiko, Ishiai, Masamichi, Yamazoe, Mitsuyoshi, Seki, Masayuki, Matsushita, Nobuko, ...

Some of the restarting events of stalled replication forks lead to sister chromatid exchange (SCE) as a result of homologous recombination (HR) repair with crossing over. The rate of SCE is elevated...

A misexpression screen reveals effects of bag-of-marbles and TGF beta class signaling on the Drosophila male germ-line stem cell lineage.

Schulz, Cordula, Kiger, Amy A, Tazuke, Salli I, Yamashita, Yukiko M, Pantalena-Filho, Luiz C, Jones, D Leanne, ...

Male gametes are produced throughout reproductive life by a classic stem cell mechanism. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms for lineage production that maintain male germ-line...

Asymmetric centrosome behavior and the mechanisms of stem cell division

Yamashita, Yukiko M., Fuller, Margaret T.

The ability of dividing cells to produce daughters with different fates is an important developmental mechanism conserved from bacteria to fungi, plants, and metazoan animals. Asymmetric outcomes of...
