Bistability of mitotic entry and exit switches during open mitosis in mammalian cells

N Hégarat, S Rata, H Hochegger - Bioessays, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Mitotic entry and exit are switch‐like transitions that are driven by the activation and
inactivation of Cdk1 and mitotic cyclins. This simple on/off reaction turns out to be a complex …

[PDF][PDF] Two bistable switches govern M phase entry

S Mochida, S Rata, H Hino, T Nagai, B Novák - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com
The abrupt and irreversible transition from interphase to M phase is essential to separate
DNA replication from chromosome segregation. This transition requires the switch-like …

[PDF][PDF] Two interlinked bistable switches govern mitotic control in mammalian cells

S Rata, MFSP Rodriguez, S Joseph, N Peter, FE Iturra… - Current biology, 2018 - cell.com
Distinct protein phosphorylation levels in interphase and M phase require tight regulation of
Cdk1 activity [1, 2]. A bistable switch, based on positive feedback in the Cdk1 activation loop, …

[PDF][PDF] Human chromosome segregation involves multi-layered regulation of separase by the peptidyl-prolyl-isomerase Pin1

S Hellmuth, S Rata, A Brown, S Heidmann, B Novak… - Molecular cell, 2015 - cell.com
Ring-shaped cohesin keeps sister chromatids paired until cleavage of its Scc1/Rad21 subunit
by separase triggers chromosome segregation in anaphase. Vertebrate separase is held …

Interlinked bistable mechanisms generate robust mitotic transitions

LH Hutter, S Rata, H Hochegger, B Novák - Cell Cycle, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
The transitions between phases of the cell cycle have evolved to be robust and switch-like,
which ensures temporal separation of DNA replication, sister chromatid separation, and cell …

Antisense transcription‐dependent chromatin signature modulates sense transcript dynamics

…, M Wouters, P Lorenz, E Seward, S Rata… - Molecular systems …, 2018 - embopress.org
Antisense transcription is widespread in genomes. Despite large differences in gene size and
architecture, we find that yeast and human genes share a unique, antisense transcription‐…

An optimal set of inhibitors for reverse engineering via kinase regularization

S Rata, JS Gruver, N Trikoz, A Lukyanov, J Vultaggio… - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
We present a comprehensive resource of 257 kinase inhibitor profiles against 365 human
protein kinases using gold-standard kinase activity assays. We show the utility of this dataset …

[HTML][HTML] Identification of kinases activated by multiple pro-angiogenic growth factors

S Gruver, S Rata, L Peshkin… - Frontiers in …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Antiangiogenic therapy began as an effort to inhibit VEGF signaling, which was thought to
be the sole factor driving tumor angiogenesis. It has become clear that there are more pro-…

[PDF][PDF] by multiple pro-angiogenic growth factors

S Gruver, S Rata, L Peshkin - kirschnerlab.org
Nearly all tissues require vascularization to maintain homeostasis. Angiogenesis, or the
formation of new microvasculature from existing vessels, allows for tissue growth in both normal …

Mathematical modelling of mitotic controls

S Rata - 2018 - ora.ox.ac.uk
The mitotic cell cycle is fundamental to eukaryotic life. In mitosis, replicated chromosomes
are segregated to form two new nuclei. This is essential to ensure the maintenance of …
