Cytoplasmic volume modulates spindle size during embryogenesis.
Rapid and reductive cell divisions during embryogenesis require that intracellular structures adapt to a wide range of cell sizes. The mitotic spindle presents a central example of this flexibility, scaling with the dimensions of the cell to mediate accurate chromosome segregation. To determine whether spindle size regulation is achieved through a developmental program or is intrinsically speci...
متن کاملSamurai Sword Sets Spindle Size
Although the parts list is nearly complete for many cellular structures, mechanisms that control their size remain poorly understood. Loughlin and colleagues now show that phosphorylation of a single residue of katanin, a microtubule-severing protein, largely accounts for the difference in spindle length between two closely related frogs.
متن کاملChecking in on spindle size
Time keepers abound very cell in the body has its own little clock, according to Emi Nagoshi, Ueli Schibler (University of Geneva, Switzerland), and colleagues. These peripheral clocks may be closely related to the body’s central clock—the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Neurons of the SCN maintain circadian gene expression for long periods of time. Other cells, however, were thought to rely on ...

JCB • VOLUME 182 • NUMBER 2 • 2008 216 UNTYING TUBE FORMATION From the trachea to the capillaries of the retina, the body teems with tubes. Even the heart is a glorifi ed tube. Two papers have identifi ed a pathway that helps tube cells create an opening. Building a tube from solid tissue involves making space between adjacent cells to form a lumen. The two groups recorded similar results about...
متن کاملPlasmodesmata formation and cell-to-cell transport are reduced in decreased size exclusion limit 1 during embryogenesis in Arabidopsis.
In plants, plasmodesmata (PD) serve as channels for micromolecular and macromolecular cell-to-cell transport. Based on structure, PD in immature tissues are classified into two types, simple and branched (X- and Y-shaped) or twinned. The maximum size of molecules capable of PD transport defines PD aperture, known as the PD size exclusion limit. Here we report an Arabidopsis mutation, decreased ...
