Disruption of mitotic spindle orientation in a yeast dynein mutant.
Dynein motor isoforms have been implicated as potential kinetochore-associated motors that power chromosome-to-pole movements during mitosis. The recent identification and sequence determination of genes encoding dynein isoforms has now permitted the in vivo analysis of dynein function in mitosis. In this report we describe the identification and mutational analysis of the gene, DHC1, encoding ...
متن کاملThe Light Intermediate Chain 2 Subpopulation of Dynein Regulates Mitotic Spindle Orientation
Cytoplasmic dynein 1 is a multi-protein intracellular motor essential for mediating several mitotic functions, including the establishment of proper spindle orientation. The functional relevance and mechanistic distinctions between two discrete dynein subpopulations distinguished only by Light Intermediate Chain (LIC) homologues, LIC1 and LIC2 is unknown during mitosis. Here, we identify LIC2-d...
متن کاملMitotic control of kinetochore-associated dynein and spindle orientation by human Spindly
Mitotic spindle formation and chromosome segregation depend critically on kinetochore-microtubule (KT-MT) interactions. A new protein, termed Spindly in Drosophila and SPDL-1 in C. elegans, was recently shown to regulate KT localization of dynein, but depletion phenotypes revealed striking differences, suggesting evolutionarily diverse roles of mitotic dynein. By characterizing the function of ...
متن کاملPlk 2 regulates mitotic spindle orientation and mammary gland development
Disruptions in polarity and mitotic spindle orientation contribute to the progression and evolution of tumorigenesis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating these processes in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that Polo-like kinase 2 (Plk2) regulates mitotic spindle orientation in the mammary gland and that this might account for its suggested role as a tumor suppressor. Pl...
متن کاملMicrotubule-dependent path to the cell cortex for cytoplasmic dynein in mitotic spindle orientation
During animal development, microtubules (MTs) play a major role in directing cellular and subcellular patterning, impacting cell polarization and subcellular organization, thereby affecting cell fate determination and tissue architecture. In particular, when progenitor cells divide asymmetrically along an anterior-posterior or apical-basal axis, MTs must coordinate the position of the mitotic s...
