Centromere Glue Provides Spindle Cue
During cell division, accurate distribution of the genome by the mitotic spindle requires that sister chromatids remain tethered until the right moment. Studies of an uncharacterized vertebrate protein, Sgo (Salic et al., 2004 [this issue of Cell]), reveal dual roles as a chromosome cohesion factor and a regulator of spindle microtubule dynamics.
متن کاملDissertation Proposal Dialogue Glue: Cue Words and Prosody
This dissertation is about how semantics, pragmatics and speech prosody conspire to glue a dialogue together. This proposal focuses on the meaning and use of cue words. This set of discourse markers include backchannels like uh-huh and okay , agreements like right , and questioning particles like really . Understanding these sorts of markers is important because they indicate both when things a...
متن کاملThe Coordination of Centromere Replication, Spindle Formation, and Kinetochore–Microtubule Interaction in Budding Yeast
The kinetochore is a protein complex that assembles on centromeric DNA to mediate chromosome-microtubule interaction. Most eukaryotic cells form the spindle and establish kinetochore-microtubule interaction during mitosis, but budding yeast cells finish these processes in S-phase. It has long been noticed that the S-phase spindle in budding yeast is shorter than that in metaphase, but the biolo...
متن کاملINCENP Centromere and Spindle Targeting: Identification of Essential Conserved Motifs and Involvement of Heterochromatin Protein HP1
The inner centromere protein (INCENP) has a modular organization, with domains required for chromosomal and cytoskeletal functions concentrated near the amino and carboxyl termini, respectively. In this study we have identified an autonomous centromere- and midbody-targeting module in the amino-terminal 68 amino acids of INCENP. Within this module, we have identified two evolutionarily conserve...
متن کاملCentromere-localized breaks indicate the generation of DNA damage by the mitotic spindle.
Most carcinomas present some form of chromosome instability in combination with spindle defects. Numerical instability is likely caused by spindle aberrations, but the origin of breaks and translocations remains elusive. To determine whether one mechanism can bring about both types of instability, we studied the relationship between DNA damage and spindle defects. Although lacking apparent repa...
