Jessica Feldman: Microtubule-organizing function dives off centrosomes
JCB • VOLUME 212 • NUMBER 5 • 2016 484 The microtubules of the mitotic spindle apparatus emanate from, and are organized by, the centrosomes: nonmembrane-bound organelles composed of centrioles embedded in a cloud of pericentriolar material (PCM) that persist throughout the cell cycle. In some cell types, including fibroblasts and many cultured cell lines, centrosomes retain their microtubule-o...
متن کاملContribution of spermatozoal centrosomes to the microtubule-organizing centre in Antarctic minke whale ( Balaenoptera bonaerensis ).
Using an interspecies microinsemination assay with bovine oocytes, it was examined whether centrosomes of Antarctic minke whale spermatozoa function as the microtubule-organizing centre (MTOC). Bull and rat spermatozoa were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Vitrified-warmed bovine mature oocytes were subjected to immunostaining against alpha-tubulin 4-6 h after intracytoplas...
متن کاملCentrosomes and microtubule organisation during Drosophila development.
Are the microtubule-organising centers of the different cell types of a metazoan interchangeable? If not, what are the differences between them? Do they play any role in the differentiation processes to which these cells are subjected? Nearly one hundred years of centrosome research has established the essential role of this organelle as the main microtubule-organising center of animal cells. B...
متن کاملMeiosis: Organizing Microtubule Organizers
During meiosis in fission yeast, the zygote nucleus undergoes microtubule-driven oscillatory movements that ultimately serve to promote genetic recombination. An essential component of this is a meiosis-specific consolidation of microtubule-organizing activity to the the spindle pole body, driven by the novel coiled-coil protein mcp6/hrs1p.
متن کاملPerturbing integrin function inhibits microtubule growth from centrosomes, spindle assembly, and cytokinesis
In many mammalian cell types, integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesion is required for the G1-S transition of the cell cycle. As cells approach mitosis, a dramatic remodeling of their cytoskeleton accompanies dynamic changes in matrix adhesion, suggesting a mechanistic link. However, the role of integrins in cell division remains mostly unexplored. Using two cellular systems, we demonstrate that ...
