Meiotic spindle, spindle checkpoint and embryonic aneuploidy.
In mitosis, a spindle checkpoint plays important roles at the metaphase-anaphase transition to ensure the formation of a bipolar spindle, the completion of connecting chromosomes to microtubules and the alignment of all chromosomes at the spindle equator before initiation of anaphase. Components of the spindle checkpoint were first identified through genetic screens in budding yeast and some ch...
متن کاملThe Surveillance Mechanism of the Spindle Position Checkpoint in Yeast
The spindle position checkpoint in Saccharomyces cerevisiae delays mitotic exit until the spindle has moved into the mother-bud neck, ensuring that each daughter cell inherits a nucleus. The small G protein Tem1p is critical in promoting mitotic exit and is concentrated at the spindle pole destined for the bud. The presumed nucleotide exchange factor for Tem1p, Lte1p, is concentrated in the bud...

Italian in 1954, so Imanishi turned to the exploration of the unexplored wide range of Karakorum Himalayas, traversing the three major glaciers in 1955. Then, in 1958, Imanishi and Itani went to Africa for the first time. In the same year, Nishibori led the all-Japanese team which succeeded in the first over-wintering stay in Antarctica. Kuwabara led the Himalayan expedition of AACK to the firs...
متن کاملThe spindle checkpoint.
Every mitosis, replicated chromosomes must be accurately segregated into each daughter cell. Pairs of sister chromatids attach to the bipolar mitotic spindle during prometaphase, they are aligned at metaphase, then sisters separate and are pulled to opposite poles during anaphase. Failure to attach correctly to the spindle before anaphase onset results in unequal segregation of chromosomes, whi...
متن کاملThe mitotic spindle checkpoint
One of the most awe-inspiring demonstrations in biology is a timelapse video of mitosis viewed with high magnification phase contrast or Nomarski DIC microscopy. From initial chaotic movement comes the orderly alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate followed by a flawlessly synchronous splitting of the chromosomes and their gliding separation to the two mitotic poles. Enforcing the timi...
