Temperature dependence of anaphase chromosome velocity and microtubule depolymerization
The time course of chromosome movement and decay of half-spindle birefringence retardation in anaphase have been precisely determined in the endosperm cell of a plant Tilia americana and in the egg of an animal Asterias forbesi. For each species, the anaphase retardation decay rate constant and chromosome velocity are similar exponential functions of temperature. Over the temperature range at w...
متن کاملSelective control of gliding microtubule populations.
First lab-on-chip devices based on active transport by biomolecular motors have been demonstrated for basic detection and sorting applications. However, to fully employ the advantages of such hybrid nanotechnology, versatile spatial and temporal control mechanisms are required. Using a thermo-responsive polymer, we demonstrate the selective starting and stopping of modified microtubules gliding...
متن کاملDependence of the Enzymatic Velocity on the Substrate Dissociation Rate.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that play a fundamental role in all living systems by supporting the selectivity and the speed for almost all cellular processes. While the general principles of enzyme functioning are known, the specific details of how they work at the microscopic level are not always available. Simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics assumes that the enzyme-substrate complex has only...
متن کاملForce and velocity of mycoplasma mobile gliding.
The effects of temperature and force on the gliding speed of Mycoplasma mobile were examined. Gliding speed increased linearly as a function of temperature from 0.46 microm/s at 11.5 degrees C to 4.0 microm/s at 36.5 degrees C. A polystyrene bead was attached to the tail of M. mobile using a polyclonal antibody raised against whole M. mobile cells. Cells attached to beads glided at the same spe...
متن کاملThe Rate of Bipolar Spindle Assembly Depends on the Microtubule-Gliding Velocity of the Mitotic Kinesin Eg5
During early embryonic cycles, the time required for mitotic spindle assembly must match the autonomous cell cycle oscillations because a lack of coordination between these two processes will result in chromosome segregation errors. Members of the widely conserved BimC kinesin family are essential for spindle formation in all eukaryotes, and complete loss of BimC function results in monopolar s...
