Activation of mitotic kinesin by microtubule bundling
Kinesin-5 family members cross-link and slide parallel microtubules of opposite polarity, an activity that is essential for the formation of a bipolar spindle during mitosis. In this issue, Kapitein et al. (Kapitein, L.C., B.H. Kwok, J.S. Weinger, C.F. Schmidt, T.M. Kapoor, and E.J.G. Peterman. 2008. J. Cell Biol. 182:421-428) demonstrate that microtubule cross-linking triggers the conversion o...
متن کاملDDA3 recruits microtubule depolymerase Kif2a to spindle poles and controls spindle dynamics and mitotic chromosome movement
Dynamic turnover of the spindle is a driving force for chromosome congression and segregation in mitosis. Through a functional genomic analysis, we identify DDA3 as a previously unknown regulator of spindle dynamics that is essential for mitotic progression. DDA3 depletion results in a high frequency of unaligned chromosomes, a substantial reduction in tension across sister kinetochores at meta...
متن کاملDDA3 and Mdp3 modulate Kif2a recruitment onto the mitotic spindle to control minus-end spindle dynamics.
Active turnover of spindle microtubules (MTs) for the formation of a bi-orientated spindle, chromosome congression and proper chromosome segregation is regulated by MT depolymerases such as the kinesin-13 family and the plus-end-tracking proteins (+TIPs). However, the control mechanisms underlying the spindle MT dynamics that are responsible for poleward flux at the minus end of MTs are poorly ...
متن کاملMitotic Kinases and p53 Signaling
Mitosis is tightly regulated and any errors in this process often lead to aneuploidy, genomic instability, and tumorigenesis. Deregulation of mitotic kinases is significantly associated with improper cell division and aneuploidy. Because of their importance during mitosis and the relevance to cancer, mitotic kinase signaling has been extensively studied over the past few decades and, as a resul...
متن کاملAnchoring proteins encounter mitotic kinases
Defective progression of cells through mitosis permits an accumulation of genetic defects that lead to aneuploidy. Cells in a state of aneuploidy acquire mutations that eventually cause their transformation from normal cells into cancer. Recent evidence suggests that perturbing the spatial and temporal pattern of cell division can enhance such oncogenic states. This can occur at the level of an...
