Xkid, a Chromokinesin Required for Chromosome Alignment on the Metaphase Plate
Metaphase chromosome alignment is a key step of animal cell mitosis. The molecular mechanism leading to this equatorial positioning is still not fully understood. Forces exerted at kinetochores and on chromosome arms drive chromosome movements that culminate in their alignment on the metaphase plate. In this paper, we show that Xkid, a kinesin-like protein localized on chromosome arms, plays an...
متن کاملBubR1 and APC/EB1 cooperate to maintain metaphase chromosome alignment
The accurate segregation of chromosomes in mitosis requires the stable attachment of microtubules to kinetochores. The details of this complex and dynamic process are poorly understood. In this study, we report the interaction of a kinetochore-associated mitotic checkpoint kinase, BubR1, with two microtubule plus end-associated proteins, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and EB1, providing a pot...
متن کاملA male-sterile mutation in soybean (Glycine max) affecting chromosome arrangement in metaphase plate and cytokinesis.
A spontaneous male-sterile, female-fertile mutation affecting bivalent arrangement at the metaphase plate and cytokinesis was detected in line BR98-197 of the soybean breeding program developed by Embrapa - National Soybean Research Centre. Untill diakinesis, meiosis was normal with chromosome pairing as bivalents. From this phase, in several meiocytes, bivalents were not able to organize a sin...
متن کاملKinetochore alignment within the metaphase plate is regulated by centromere stiffness and microtubule depolymerases
During mitosis in most eukaryotic cells, chromosomes align and form a metaphase plate halfway between the spindle poles, about which they exhibit oscillatory movement. These movements are accompanied by changes in the distance between sister kinetochores, commonly referred to as breathing. We developed a live cell imaging assay combined with computational image analysis to quantify the properti...
متن کاملSARs and metaphase chromosome structure
Introduction Various structural studies have demonstrated that the chromosomal architecture of the nucleus is highly ordered and suggest that it might be held in place by some sort of nuclear scaffold. This organization must permit dynamic movements of chromatin during activities such as enhancer looping, recombination and chromosome condensation. The mechanisms whereby nuclear order and chroma...
