Greatwall kinase is key for mitotic entry in metazoans, so how can worms do without it? Pintard et al find sole canonical MAST kinase KIN-4 assumes its role in PP2A-B55 phosphatase inhibition and coordination of cell divisions and development in C. elegans www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Ana Almeida, Helder Rocha, Maximilian Raas, Geert Kops, Reto Gassmann, Helder Maiato @i3suporto.bsky.social, et al. dissect the relationship between kinetochore size & CENP-E dependence for chromosome alignment. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Phylogenetic profile of CENP-E across holocentric and monocentric taxa. (A–D) CENP-E conservation in (A) the phylum Nematoda, (B) the phylum Vertebrata, (C) the insect order Hemiptera and (D) the insect order Diptera. Lineages with an inferred CENP-E loss are highlighted with a coloured box. Holocentric lineages are indicated with ‘H’ and monocentric lineages with ‘M’, as well as with a graphic depiction of holocentric and monocentric chromosomes.
