Mitosis, microtubules, and the matrix
The mechanical events of mitosis depend on the action of microtubules and mitotic motors, but whether these spindle components act alone or in concert with a spindle matrix is an important question.
متن کاملCytoskeleton: Microtubules get the signal
Investigations of how the cytoskeleton is controlled by Rho GTPase signaling have focused largely on the remodeling of actin. Recent work in fibroblasts shows that microtubules are also subject to regulation by the Rho pathway, and that the signals acting on actin and microtubules can be teased apart.
متن کاملMitosis: Don't get mad, get even
The 'mitotic spindle checkpoint' ensures that, before a cell exits from mitosis, all of its chromosomes are aligned on the spindle to form the metaphase plate. Mad2 is an essential component of this checkpoint system and it binds specifically to unattached kinetochores.
متن کاملMicrotubules get early release
n page 765, Ohzeki et al. present evidence for sequence specificity in assembling chromatin at mammalian centromeres. The sequence requirements imply that construction of centromeric chromatin is more than an epigenetic process. O Centromeric chromatin assembles at AT-rich repeats called ␣ satellite sequences, or alphoids. Type I alphoids contain boxes for the binding of CENP-B, one of several ...
متن کاملMicrotubules get a name
rom the mists of early electron microscopy (EM) images there gradually emerged, during the 1950s and 1960s, long, rod-shaped structures. Various investigators missed them, dismissed them, or called them canaliculi, endoplasmic reticulum, or filamentous elements. Finally Slautterback (1963) and Ledbetter and Porter (1963) gave them a full description, recognized their ubiquity, and bestowed thei...
