Contribution of Noncentrosomal Microtubules to Spindle Assembly in Drosophila Spermatocytes
Previous data suggested that anastral spindles, morphologically similar to those found in oocytes, can assemble in a centrosome-independent manner in cells that contain centrosomes. It is assumed that the microtubules that build these acentrosomal spindles originate over the chromatin. However, the actual processes of centrosome-independent microtubule nucleation, polymerisation, and sorting ha...
متن کاملMaking more microtubules by severing: a common theme of noncentrosomal microtubule arrays?
Two related enzymes, katanin and spastin, use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to sever microtubules. Two new studies (one in this issue; see McNally et al., p. 881) show that microtubule severing by katanin provides a means for increasing microtubule density in meiotic spindles. Interestingly, loss of spastin leads to a sparser microtubule array in axons and synaptic boutons. Together, these stu...
متن کاملNoncentrosomal microtubules and type II myosins potentiate epidermal cell adhesion and barrier formation
During differentiation, many cells reorganize their microtubule cytoskeleton into noncentrosomal arrays. Although these microtubules are likely organized to meet the physiological roles of their tissues, their functions in most cell types remain unexplored. In the epidermis, differentiation induces the reorganization of microtubules to cell-cell junctions in a desmosome-dependent manner. Here, ...
متن کاملAsymmetric CLASP-dependent nucleation of noncentrosomal microtubules at the trans-Golgi network.
Proper organization of microtubule arrays is essential for intracellular trafficking and cell motility. It is generally assumed that most if not all microtubules in vertebrate somatic cells are formed by the centrosome. Here we demonstrate that a large number of microtubules in untreated human cells originate from the Golgi apparatus in a centrosome-independent manner. Both centrosomal and Golg...
متن کاملPhenotypic analysis of misato function reveals roles of noncentrosomal microtubules in Drosophila spindle formation.
Mitotic spindle assembly in centrosome-containing cells relies on two main microtubule (MT) nucleation pathways, one based on centrosomes and the other on chromosomes. However, the relative role of these pathways is not well defined. In Drosophila, mutants without centrosomes can form functional anastral spindles and survive to adulthood. Here we show that mutations in the Drosophila misato (ms...
