Motor Function in the Mitotic Spindle Minireview
Motor Function in Spindle Organization The mitotic spindle is a complex and fascinating macroWhy is motor function necessary for spindle formation? molecular machine that performs a crucial task: distribDespite its apparent symmetry and uniform appearance, uting an exact complement of chromosomes to each the spindle is a dynamic structure, with a microtubule daughter cell during mitosis or meio...
متن کاملMitotic spindle form and function.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitotic spindle in budding yeast is exemplified by its simplicity and elegance. Microtubules are nucleated from a crystalline array of proteins organized in the nuclear envelope, known as the spindle pole body in yeast (analogous to the centrosome in larger eukaryotes). The spindle has two classes of nuclear microtubules: kinetochore microtubules and interpolar micr...
متن کاملDynactin function in mitotic spindle positioning.
Dynactin is a multisubunit protein complex necessary for dynein function. Here, we investigated the function of dynactin in budding yeast. Loss of dynactin impaired movement and positioning of the mitotic spindle, similar to loss of dynein. Dynactin subunits required for function included p150(Glued), dynamitin, actin-related protein (Arp) 1 and p24. Arp10 and capping protein were dispensable, ...
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...
متن کاملChromatin Shapes the Mitotic Spindle
In animal and plant cells, mitotic chromatin locally generates microtubules that self-organize into a mitotic spindle, and its dimensions and bipolar symmetry are essential for accurate chromosome segregation. By immobilizing microscopic chromatin-coated beads on slide surfaces using a microprinting technique, we have examined the effect of chromatin on the dimensions and symmetry of spindles i...
