The Mitotic Apparatus
The major 22S protein of the hexylene glycol-isolated mitotic apparatus has been characterized from spindle isolates and extracts of whole eggs and acetone powders of eggs from the sea urchins Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, and Arbacia punctulata. The protein is free of nucleotide, lipid, and ATPase activity. Essentially identical in amino acid composition, pr...
متن کاملThe Mitotic Apparatus
Mitotic apparatuses (MA) isolated from metaphase sea urchin eggs in 12% hexylene glycol at pH 6.4 can be dissolved rapidly in 0.6 M KCl, and more than one-half of the total protein of the MA is soluble under these conditions. In the phase-contrast microscope, the fibrous structure of the MA can be seen to disintegrate in KCl solution, leaving only granular material which, in the electron micros...
متن کاملThe Direct Isolation of the Mitotic Apparatus
A method for isolating the mitotic apparatus from dividing sea urchin eggs without the use of ethyl alcohol or of detergents is described. In the present method, the eggs are dispersed directly in a medium containing 1 M (to 1.15 M) sucrose, 0.15 M dithiodiglycol, and 0.001 M Versene at pH 6, releasing the visibly intact mitotic apparatus. The method is designed for studies of enzyme activities...
متن کاملRomancing mitosis and the mitotic apparatus
One of the earliest lessons students learn in biology is the process of mitosis and how cells divide to produce daughter cells. Although first described more than a century ago by early investigators such as E. B. Wilson, many aspects of mitosis and cell division remain the subject of considerable research today. My personal investigations and research contributions to the study of mitosis were...
متن کاملTHE MITOTIC APPARATUS: ISOLATION BY CONTROLLED pH
The isolation of the mitotic apparatus (MA) from the echinoderm egg was studied in detail, with particular attention given to the factors governing its stability. Successful isolation depends mainly on the pH of the isolation solution, slightly acid values being required. The use of a 1 M solution of hexanediol, buffered at pH 6.0 to 6.4, gives high yields of stable MA, while MA of poorer quali...
