“How to regulate the duration of mitosis and control cell fate decisions”

Centre for Molecular Biology (ZMBH)

Heidelberg University, Germany

The duration of mitosis is tightly regulated by multiple factors, including the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), the phosphatase CDC14B, the kinase HIPK2, and CDC20. Both CDC14B and HIPK2 modulate the expression of cyclin B1 during mitosis. In addition, alternative translational start sites of CDC20 influence the activity of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) and the degradation of cyclin B1. If cyclin B1 levels fall below a critical threshold, cells undergo mitotic slippage, entering G1 without proper chromosome segregation. The duration of mitosis directly affects subsequent cell fate. Cells that remain in mitosis for extended periods of time are arrest in G1. G1 arrest is driven by mitosis-duration-dependent activation of the tumor suppressor p53, which upregulates the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21. In this project, we aim to investigate the crosstalk between mitotic timing and G1 arrest using engineered cell lines and cancer tissue samples.
