At the (Kineto)chore, Yeast Really Are Like People
نویسنده
چکیده
Proper chromosome segregation depends on correct attachments between microtubules and kinetochores. Budding yeast have been thought to achieve these attachments with different kinetics than other eukaryotes. Now, deploying specialized data processing techniques to achieve super-resolution images, Marco et al. demonstrate that this tractable cell-cycle model system shares more similarities with plants and animals than previously thought.

Kinetochores expand their reach
Kinetochores attach chromosomes to the mitotic spindle. After binding initially to the sides of spindle microtubules, they form stable attachments to microtubule plus ends so that chromosomes can be segregated to the spindle poles during anaphase. In addition , kinetochores recruit the spindle assembly checkpoint proteins that prevent cells from entering anaphase if their chromosomes aren't att...
متن کاملKip3-ing kinetochores clustered.
Metaphase is the brief and highly conspicuous period during cell division where chromosomes become positioned at the spindle equator through the process of " congression ". it is generally believed that congression promotes accurate chromosome segregation during anaphase, and this logic has driven research over several decades to identify the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have demonstra...
متن کاملSetting a new standard for kinetochores
Setting a new standard for kinetochores T o really understand how a biological structure works, we need to know not just which, but also how many, molecules are present in it. For kine-tochores—the structures that link centro-meric DNA to spindle microtubules— protein components have been tallied by comparing the fluorescence of GFP-tagged kinetochore proteins to fl uorescent versions of the ce...
متن کاملLengthening without letting go
erotelic chromosome attachments present the cell with a particularly threatening scenario. With a single kinetochore attached to both spindle poles, the tension on this kinetochore ensures that no error message is sent out, as would be the case with a detached kinetochore. Most researchers presumed that the relatively lower tension on the " incorrect " attachment (the one that is relieved by th...
متن کاملThe difference between a job and a career.
The article describes how the biggest complaint people have about their jobs is that it requires too much effort. However, the amount of effort something takes is relative to how much you enjoy it. If you think about it, reading a book for pleasure is simple, but reading a book for a college course can be a chore. If you're passionate about what you do, it doesn't feel like work and the extra h...
