Bacterial Mitosis: Actin in a New Role at the Origin
MreB is a prokaryotic homolog of actin involved in cellular organization and chromosome segregation. Recent results suggest that MreB is part of a kinetochore-like complex that specifically segregates the replication origin region of the bacterial chromosome.
متن کاملFilament Depolymerization Can Explain Chromosome Pulling during Bacterial Mitosis
Chromosome segregation is fundamental to all cells, but the force-generating mechanisms underlying chromosome translocation in bacteria remain mysterious. Caulobacter crescentus utilizes a depolymerization-driven process in which a ParA protein structure elongates from the new cell pole, binds to a ParB-decorated chromosome, and then retracts via disassembly, pulling the chromosome across the c...
متن کاملModeling mitosis.
The mitotic spindle is a fascinating protein machine that uses bipolar arrays of dynamic microtubules and many mitotic motors to coordinate the accurate segregation of sister chromatids. Here we discuss recent mathematical models and computer simulations that, in concert with experimental studies, help explain the molecular mechanisms by which the spindle machinery performs its crucial function...
متن کاملMitosis sans Mitosis: The Mitotic Oscillator in Differentiation.
Differentiation and proliferation are usually considered to be antagonistic partners in development. However, in a recent issue of Science, Al Jord et al. (2017) show that key regulators of the mitotic cycle are redeployed in differentiating multiciliated cells to promote ciliogenesis without mitotic progression.
متن کاملMitosis: KLP61F Goes Wee!
Kinesin-5s help assemble the bipolar spindle by crosslinking and sliding apart antiparallel microtubules. A recent study has uncovered a novel pathway for the phospho-regulation of these motors.
