摘要: Post-translational modifications of core histone tails play crucial roles in chromatin structure and function. Although phosphorylation Ser10 Ser28 (H3S10ph H3S28ph) H3 is ubiquitous among eukaryotes, the mechanism during cell cycle remains unclear. In present study, H3S10ph H3S28ph tobacco BY-2 cells were observed pericentromeric regions mitosis. Moreover, Aurora kinase inhibitor Hesperadin inhibited activity Arabidopsis thaliana 3 (AtAUR3) phosphorylating both vitro. Consistently, mitosis cells. These results indicate that plant kinases phosphorylate not only Ser10, but also vivo. treatment increased ratio metaphase cells, while anaphase/telophase decreased, although mitotic index was affected Hesperadin-treated suggest induces delayed transition from to anaphase, early exit after chromosome segregation. addition, micronuclei frequently lagging chromosomes, caused by delay failure sister chromatid separation, at anaphase telophase The data obtained here H3S10ph/H3S28ph may have a role segregation metaphase/anaphase transition.
