    Abstract The activity of a kinesin is largely determined by the approximately 350 residue motor domain, and this region alone is sufficient to classify a kinesin as a member of a particular family. The kinesin-13 family are a group of microtubule depolymerizing kinesins and are vital regulators of microtubule length. Kinesin-13s are critical to spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitotic and meiotic cell division and play crucial roles in cilium length control and neuronal development. To better understand the evolution of microtubule depolymerization activity, we created a synthetic ancestral kinesin-13 motor domain. This phylogenetically inferred ancestral motor domain is the sequence predicted to have existed in the common ancestor of the kinesin-13 family. Here we show that the ancestral kinesin-13 motor depolymerizes stabilized microtubules faster than any previously tested depolymerase. This potent activity is more than an order of magnitude faster than the most highly studied kinesin-13, MCAK and allows the ancestral kinesin-13 to depolymerize doubly stabilized microtubules and cause internal breaks within microtubules. These data suggest that the ancestor of the kinesin-13 family was a 'super depolymerizer' and that members of the kinesin-13 family have evolved away from this extreme depolymerizing activity to provide more controlled microtubule depolymerization activity in extant cells.

    Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular malignancy and arises from melanocytes in the iris, ciliary body, or choroid. Early diagnosis and local treatment is crucial, as survival correlates with primary tumor size. However, approximately 50% of patients will develop metastatic disease with 6-12 months' survival from metastatic diagnosis. Genomic analyses have led to the development of gene-expression profiles that effectively predict metastatic progression; unfortunately, no adjuvant therapy has been shown to prolong survival to date. New insights into the molecular biology of UM have found frequent activating mutations in genes encoding for the G-protein α-subunit,

    Abstract Background: Recurrence of esophageal cancer in the brain is rare but associated with a poor prognosis. Identification of risk factors for isolated brain metastasis of esophageal cancer (iBMEC) after surgical treatment may guide surveillance recommendations to enable early identification and intervention before widespread metastasis.
    Methods: Patients with iBMEC (n = 38) were identified from a prospective database of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy. Risk factors for iBMEC were identified using competing risk regression analysis.
    Results: In a cohort of 1760 patients, 39% recurred and iBMEC developed in 2% by the end of the study. Survival in patients with iBMEC was similar to survival in patients with distant recurrence (median overall survival, 0.95 years; 95% confidence interval, 0.6-1.5 years). More than half of patients with iBMEC were diagnosed within 1 year postoperatively. All 38 patients with iBMEC had received neoadjuvant therapy before surgery. Pathologic complete response (PCR) to neoadjuvant therapy was associated with improved survival after brain recurrence (median overall survival, 1.56 vs 0.66 years; P = .019).
    Conclusions: In patients with PCR, iBMEC may represent true isolated recurrence, whereas in those with residual nodal disease, iBMEC may actually be the first observed site of widespread metastasis. Patients who receive neoadjuvant therapy, especially with PCR, may benefit from brain imaging, both preoperatively and with routine surveillance.
