The spindle plays both ends
In order to correctly segregate during mitosis, sister chromatids must attach their kinetochores to stable microtubule (MT) bundles, known as K-fibers, that are connected to opposite spindle poles. In 1986, Marc Kirschner and Tim Mitchison proposed a “search and capture” model in which dynamic MTs emanating from the centrosomes would be selectively stabilized if their plus ends happened to cont...
متن کاملSpindle Microtubules: Getting Attached at Both Ends
A recent study describes a novel role for the centrosomal protein Cep57 in attaching spindle microtubules to both kinetochores and centrosomes, suggesting similar mechanisms may be used for generating these two distinct linkages in mitosis.
متن کاملDopamine: Burning the Candle at Both Ends
Dopamine neurons are well known for signaling reward-prediction errors. In this issue, Matsumoto and Takada (2013) show that some dopamine neurons also signal salient events during progression through a visual search task requiring working memory and sustained attention.
متن کاملLife at Both Ends of the Ladder
Level of formal education is an important divide in contemporary societies; it is positively related to health, well-being, and social attitudes such as tolerance for minorities and interest in politics. We investigated whether education-based identification is a common underlying factor of these education effects. Indeed, education-based identification was stronger among the higher educated, e...
متن کاملForce on spindle microtubule minus ends moves chromosomes
The spindle is a dynamic self-assembling machine that coordinates mitosis. The spindle's function depends on its ability to organize microtubules into poles and maintain pole structure despite mechanical challenges and component turnover. Although we know that dynein and NuMA mediate pole formation, our understanding of the forces dynamically maintaining poles is limited: we do not know where a...
