Real-time dynamics of Plasmodium NDC80 reveals unusual modes of chromosome segregation during parasite proliferation (2020)
Journal Article
Zeeshan, M., Pandey, R., Ferguson, D. J. P., Tromer, E. C., Markus, R., Abel, S., …Tewari, R. (2020). Real-time dynamics of Plasmodium NDC80 reveals unusual modes of chromosome segregation during parasite proliferation. Journal of Cell Science, 134(5), Article jcs.245753. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.245753

Eukaryotic cell proliferation requires chromosome replication and precise segregation to ensure daughter cells have identical genomic copies. The genus Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, displays remarkable aspects of nuclear division throug...

Plasmodium Condensin Core Subunits SMC2/SMC4 Mediate Atypical Mitosis and Are Essential for Parasite Proliferation and Transmission (2020)
Journal Article
Le Roch, K. G., Holder, A. A., Bottrill, A. R., Stanway, R. R., Wall, R. J., Tewari, R., …Brady, D. (2020). Plasmodium Condensin Core Subunits SMC2/SMC4 Mediate Atypical Mitosis and Are Essential for Parasite Proliferation and Transmission. Cell Reports, 30(6), 1883-1897.e6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2020.01.033

Condensin is a multi-subunit protein complex regulating chromosome condensation and segregation during cell division. In Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria, cell division is atypical and the role of condensin is unclear. Here we examine...
