Chromosome Segregation: A Spatial Code to Correct Kinetochore–Microtubule Attachments
Erroneous kinetochore-microtubule interactions must be detected and corrected before a cell enters anaphase to prevent chromosome mis-segregation. Two new studies describe an Aurora A-mediated error correction mechanism based on the spatial position of a chromosome within the mitotic spindle.
متن کاملSpatial Segregation in Demography: A Short Review
Abstract. Spatial has always been an inherent component of demography, and demographic processes are inherently spatiotemporal. Recognizing the importance of spatial in general and spatial segregation in particular in demographic analysis has created new positions in demography and its conceptual and analytical frameworks. The notion of spatial segregation refers to the distribution of social...
متن کاملDepletion of centromeric MCAK leads to chromosome congression and segregation defects due to improper kinetochore attachments.
The complex behavior of chromosomes during mitosis is accomplished by precise binding and highly regulated polymerization dynamics of kinetochore microtubules. Previous studies have implicated Kin Is, unique kinesins that depolymerize microtubules, in regulating chromosome positioning. We have characterized the immunofluorescence localization of centromere-bound MCAK and found that MCAK localiz...
متن کاملMechanisms to Avoid and Correct Erroneous Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachments
In dividing vertebrate cells multiple microtubules must connect to mitotic kinetochores in a highly stereotypical manner, with each sister kinetochore forming microtubule attachments to only one spindle pole. The exact sequence of events by which this goal is achieved varies considerably from cell to cell because of the variable locations of kinetochores and spindle poles, and randomness of ini...
متن کاملASPP1/2-PP1 complexes are required for chromosome segregation and kinetochore-microtubule attachments.
Regulated interactions between kinetochores and spindle microtubules are critical for maintaining genomic stability during chromosome segregation. Defects in chromosome segregation are widespread phenomenon in human cancers that are thought to serve as the fuel for tumorigenic progression. Tumor suppressor proteins ASPP1 and ASPP2, two members of the apoptosis stimulating proteins of p53 (ASPP)...
