Adaptable centriole biogenesis via the intrinsically disordered protein ALMS1

Kanako Ozaki, Ting-Jui Ben Chang, Wen-Qing Yang, Avital Shulman, Denisse Izquierdo, Wann‐Neng Jane, Won‐Jing Wang, Tim Stearns, Jens Lüders, T. Tony Yang, Meng-Fu Bryan Tsou

This study identifies ALMS1 as an intrinsically disordered protein that mediates cartwheel dynamics during centriole biogenesis, showing its role in forming and disassembling cartwheel seeds and enabling adaptable centriole formation.

Fidelity-Ensuring Consistency of Mitosis is Safeguarded by the 53BP1-USP28-p53 Pathway

Avital Shulman, Kanako Ozaki, Lukas R Chang, Eden Hoong, Meng-Fu Bryan Tsou

The paper identifies the 53BP1-USP28-p53 pathway as an external mitotic surveillance system that induces post-mitotic arrest when fidelity-ensuring mechanisms are compromised.
