On the road to cancer: aneuploidy and the mitotic checkpoint

GJPL Kops, BAA Weaver, DW Cleveland - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2005 - nature.com
Abnormal chromosome content — also known as aneuploidy — is the most common characteristic
of human solid tumours. It has therefore been proposed that aneuploidy contributes to…

protein but FOXO factors appear to be highly stable [the half-life of FOXO4 is >10 h (GJPL Kops, …

Principles and dynamics of spindle assembly checkpoint signalling

AD McAinsh, GJPL Kops - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2023 - nature.com
The transmission of a complete set of chromosomes to daughter cells during cell division is

AFX-like Forkhead transcription factors mediate cell-cycle regulation by Ras and PKB through p27kip1

RH Medema, GJPL Kops, JL Bos, BMT Burgering - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
The Forkhead transcription factors AFX, FKHR and FKHR-L1 are orthologues of DAF-16, a
Forkhead factor that regulates longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans 1 , 2 , 3 . Here we show …

Forkhead transcription factor FOXO3a protects quiescent cells from oxidative stress

GJPL Kops, TB Dansen, PE Polderman, I Saarloos… - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
Reactive oxygen species are required for cell proliferation but can also induce apoptosis 1 .
In proliferating cells this paradox is solved by the activation of protein kinase B (PKB; also …

Direct control of the Forkhead transcription factor AFX by protein kinase B
