✦ Synopsis

A hallmark feature of mitosis is the extinction of bulk cellular transcription. The mechanism by which transcription is abrogated is likely linked to mitotic specific events such as chromosome condensation. Recent studies 1,2 that probe the structure of genes that can be reactivated rapidly after mitotic repression (early G1) suggest that there are structural distortions in the promoter regions of these genes. These distortions are absent in genes that are typically repressed or reactivated in later phases of the cell cycle (late G1, S, or G2). Such changes in the chromatin structure of these genes may create a transient window for transcription factor binding and rapid reactivation of genes in subsequent phases of the cell cycle.

Another laboratory previously reported that the vast majority of mitotic recombinants in chromosome I disomics of Aspergillus nidulans arise from double exchange events involving the centromeric region and a far distal, possibly telomeric, region.

## Abstract **Background:** The RING‐H2 finger protein RBX1 (ROC1/HRT1) is a common subunit of SKP1‐CDC53/CUL1‐F‐box (SCF), other cullins and von Hippel‐Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. RBX1 protein sequences are highly conserved in various species, including yeasts, __
