An intrinsically disordered kinetochore protein coordinates mechanical regulation of chromosome segregation by dynein

J. M. McGory, D. M. Barcelos, V. Verma, T. J. Maresca

The paper identifies how the intrinsically disordered protein Spc105 links dynein to kinetochore-microtubule attachment factors to ensure accurate chromosome segregation.

Direct observation of branching MT nucleation in living animal cells.

V. Verma, T. J. Maresca

The paper directly observes branching MT nucleation in Drosophila cells using multi-color TIRF microscopy, showing augmin binding, γ-TuRC recruitment, and daughter MT nucleation at a 36° angle.

Microtubule plus-tips act as signaling hubs for positioning the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis.

V. Verma, T. J. Maresca

This study identifies MT plus-tips as signaling hubs that recruit RhoA activators to position the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis in Drosophila cells.

Development of a genetically encoded sensor for endogenous CaMKII activity

G. Ardestani, M. West, T. J. Maresca, R. A. Fissore, M. M. Stratton

The paper develops a genetically encoded sensor, FRESCA, for measuring endogenous CaMKII activity, showing it captures aggregate activity across multiple variants unlike existing sensors.
