SUMMARY:Institut Jacques Monod Seminar - Adèle Marston
DESCRIPTION:Invited by the Wassmann lab\, Professor Adele L. Marston (Centre for Cell Biology\, University of Edinburgh) will present an Institut Jacques Monod seminar on the theme: \nFunctional organisation of pericentromeres in mitosis and meiosis \nAbstract: \nOur overall goal is to understand how cells inherit the correct number of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Deviations in chromosome number\, called aneuploidy\, are a hallmark of cancer and cause birth defects\, miscarriages and infertility. Mitosis generates genetically identical daughter cells by evenly segregating the sister chromatids. Meiosis partitions half the genome into gametes through two consecutive segregation events: homologs segregate in meiosis-I\, followed by sister chromatids in meiosis-II. Meiosis is especially error-prone: around 1% of human sperm and up to 30% of oocytes are aneuploid. To discover molecular mechanisms\, we exploit the tractability of yeast\, combined with work in frog\, mouse and human oocytes. Our approach is guided by the research question\, leading to the employment and development of a wide range of cell biological\, genomic\, proteomic and biochemical assays. Our group discovered unanticipated roles for pericentromeres\, discrete chromosomal domains flanking centromeres\, and specialised functions for kinetochores in orienting chromosomes to ensure accurate segregation. In my seminar I will discuss our recent work revealing how pericentromere organization directs accurate chromosome segregation in mitosis and meiosis\, in both yeast and oocytes.

SUMMARY:Institut Jacques Monod Lecture - Gijsje Koenderink
DESCRIPTION:On July 11th\, Gijsje Koenderink (Department of Bionanoscience\, Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft\, Delft University of Technology) will present an Institut Jacques Monod lecture on the theme: \nHow cytoskeletal crosstalk makes cells strong \nAbstract: \nOur bodies are built up of cells and tissues with unique physical properties. Cells and tissues are dynamic but also need to withstand large mechanical loads. This paradoxical mechanical behavior is governed by fibrous protein scaffolds known as the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Fibrous networks have many advantageous mechanical properties: fibers can form space-filling elastic networks at low volume fractions and they reversibly stress-stiffen\, which provides protection from damage. However\, it is still poorly understood how biopolymer networks can combine these features with the ability to dynamically adapt their structure and mechanics. In this seminar I will focus on the cytoskeleton: how can the cytoskeleton combine mechanical strength with the ability to dynamically adapt its structure and mechanics? I will summarize our recent insights in this question obtained via quantitative measurements on living cells coupled with experiments on cell-free model systems. I will focus on the role of mechanical crosstalk between the actin\, intermediate filament\, and septin cytoskeletal networkds\, three key determinants of cell mechanics. These three filamentous systems contribute different structural and dynamical properties\, but their activities are closely coordinated. I will show that combining cell and cell-free assays allows us to dissect the collaborative and individual roles of the cytoskeletal systems. Our findings may eventually be interesting to guide the search for selective anticancer drugs\, since cancer cells often overexpress specific intermediate filaments or septins leading to abnormal mechanical behaviors.
