The paper shows telomeric heterochromatin promotes meiotic centromere assembly by recruiting Aurora B kinase through Swi6HP1 and Haspin-dependent phosphorylation of centromere proteins.

The paper shows that Rif1 delays nuclear envelope breakdown during anaphase, preventing resolution of telomere entanglements caused by Taz1 loss, leading to lethality.

The paper identifies nuclear envelope homeostasis as critical for resolving telomere entanglements in fission yeast through genetic screens and functional analysis.

The paper identifies RNAi and Ino80 complex as regulators of a translocation step that enables rDNA to replace telomeres in HAATIrDNA formation.

The paper identifies Bqt4-rich nuclear subdomains that prevent replication-transcription conflicts and ensure faithful heterochromatin reassembly in fission yeast.
