Key Role of TRIM37 in Cell Division: Preventing Abnormalities and Mitotic Errors
May 25, 2025
Recent research emphasizes the critical role of TRIM37 in maintaining cellular integrity and ensuring proper mitotic fidelity during cell division.
The study reveals that TRIM37 prevents ectopic spindle pole assembly through peptide motif recognition and substrate-dependent oligomerization.
Findings indicate that TRIM37 helps prevent the accumulation of centrosomal structures, akin to the recognition mechanisms used by viral capsids.
Disruptions in centrosomal protein assemblies can lead to abnormal cell division and compromise mitotic spindle function.
These findings enhance our understanding of how centrosomal dysfunction may contribute to cancer and other diseases associated with cell division.
Key references in the study include investigations into centriole biogenesis, centrosome structure, and the interactions of TRIM37 with other proteins involved in cell division.
Supporting data, including supplementary information and raw data, are accessible within the article and can be requested from the corresponding author.
This research highlights the intricate molecular mechanisms that TRIM37 employs to maintain cellular integrity during division.
TRIM37 is shown to regulate the formation of centriolar protein assemblies, which is essential for preventing abnormalities during mitosis.
