Kinetochore microtubules shorten by loss of subunits at the kinetochores of prometaphase chromosomes.
The site of tubulin subunit dissociation was determined during poleward chromosome movement in prometaphase newt lung cell mitotic spindles using fluorescence photobleaching techniques and nocodazole-induced spindle shortening. Synchronous shortening of all kinetochore microtubules was produced by incubating cells in 17 microM nocodazole to block microtubule assembly. Under these conditions the...
متن کاملHow do kinetochores CLASP dynamic microtubules?
Maintenance of genetic stability during cell division requires binding of chromosomes to the mitotic spindle, a process that involves attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores. This enables chromosomes to move to the metaphase plate, to satisfy the spindle checkpoint and finally to segregate during anaphase. Recent studies on the function MAST in Drosophila and its human homologue CLAS...
متن کاملCaptivating Capture: How Microtubules Attach to Kinetochores
Accurate chromosome segregation is essential to ensure genomic stability because the aneuploidy that results from segregation errors leads to birth defects and contributes to the development of cancer. Chromosome segregation is directed by the kinetochore, the chromosomal site of attachment to dynamic polymers called microtubules (MTs). Although the fidelity of chromosome segregation depends on...
متن کاملKinetochores and Microtubules Wed without a Ring
Proper chromosome segregation in mitosis requires tethering of spindle microtubules to the kinetochore. Using electron tomography of mammalian cells, McIntosh et al. (2008) now report the presence of fibrils that connect the inner kinetochore to the curved protofilaments at microtubule ends, suggesting a new model for force generation in chromosome movement.
متن کاملPrometaphase Spindle Poles during Early Sea Urchin Embryonic Cell Division
We have investigated the intracellular roles of an Xklp2-related kinesin motor, KRP 180 , in positioning spindle poles during early sea urchin embryonic cell division using quantitative, real-time analysis. Immunolocalization reveals that KRP 180 concentrates on microtubules in the central spindle, but is absent from centrosomes. Microinjection of inhibitory antibodies and dominant negative con...
