Recent studies of N-terminal acetylation have identified new N-terminal acetyltransferases
(NATs) and expanded the known functions of these enzymes beyond their roles as ribosome …

The proteinaceous zipper-like structure known as the synaptonemal complex (SC), which
forms between pairs of homologous chromosomes during meiosis from yeast to humans …

In sexually reproducing organisms, germ cells faithfully transmit the genome to the next
generation by forming haploid gametes, such as eggs and sperm. Although most meiotic …

Olive cultivation (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most significant sources of income for
agricultural areas in the Mediterranean basin, and the olive oil industry as well as the …

Chromosomes that have undergone crossing over in meiotic prophase must maintain sister
chromatid cohesion somewhere along their length between the first and second meiotic …

NatB is one of three major N-terminal acetyltransferase (NAT) complexes (NatA-NatC),
which co-translationally acetylate the N-termini of eukaryotic proteins. Its substrates account …

The synaptonemal complex (SC) is an ordered but highly dynamic structure assembled
between homologous chromosomes to control interhomologous crossover formation …

During sexual reproduction the parental homologous chromosomes find each other (pair)
and align along their lengths by integrating local sequence homology with large-scale …

The identification of new targets for systemic therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is
an urgent medical need. Recently, we showed that hNatB catalyzes the N-α-terminal …

During meiosis, cohesin and meiosis-specific proteins organize chromatin into an axis-loop
architecture, coordinating homologous synapsis, recombination, and ordered chromosome …
