Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a biophysical technique for measuring the formation
and dissociation of molecular complexes and has become an invaluable tool in many …

The yeast spindle pole body (SPB) is the functional equivalent of the mammalian
centrosome. Centrosomes and SPBs duplicate exactly once per cell cycle by mechanisms …

Apicomplexan parasites can change fundamental features of cell division during their life
cycles, suspending cytokinesis when needed and changing proliferative scale in different …

Over the course of evolution, the centrosome function has been conserved in most
eukaryotes, but its core architecture has evolved differently in some clades, with the …

Protein-peptide interactions are prevalent and play essential roles in many living activities.
Peptides recognize their protein partners by direct nonbonded interactions and indirect …

Age at menarche (AM) and age at natural menopause (ANM) are complex traits with a high
heritability. Abnormal timing of menarche or menopause is associated with a reduced span …

Centrins are a family of small, EF hand-containing proteins that are found in all eukaryotes
and are often complexed with centrosome-related structures. Since their discovery, centrins …

Centrosomes play critical roles in the cell division cycle and ciliogenesis. Sfi1 is a centrin-
binding protein conserved from yeast to humans. Budding yeast Sfi1 is essential for the …

Arabidopsis centrin 2, also known as calmodulin-like protein 19 (CML19), is a member of the
EF-hand superfamily of calcium (Ca2+)-binding proteins. In addition to the notion that …

The basal body is a microtubule-organizing center responsible for organizing the cilium, a
structure important for cell locomotion and sensing of the surrounding environment. A widely …
