متن کاملThe Microtubule-Destabilizing Kinesin XKCM1 Is Required for Chromosome Positioning during Spindle Assembly
Xenopus kinesin catastrophe modulator-1 (XKCM1) is a Kin I kinesin family member that uses the energy of ATP hydrolysis to depolymerize microtubules. We demonstrated previously that XKCM1 is essential for mitotic-spindle assembly in vitro and acts by regulating microtubule dynamics as a pure protein, in extracts and in cells. A portion of the XKCM1 pool is specifically localized to centromeres ...
متن کاملFunctional genomics identifies a Myb domain–containing protein family required for assembly of CENP-A chromatin
Nucleosomes containing the centromere-specific histone H3 variant centromere protein A (CENP-A) create the chromatin foundation for kinetochore assembly. To understand the mechanisms that selectively target CENP-A to centromeres, we took a functional genomics approach in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, in which failure to load CENP-A results in a signature kinetochore-null (KNL) phenotype....
متن کاملAcidic nucleoplasmic DNA-binding protein (And-1) controls chromosome congression by regulating the assembly of centromere protein A (CENP-A) at centromeres.
The centromere is an epigenetically designated chromatin domain that is essential for the accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis. The incorporation of centromere protein A (CENP-A) into chromatin is fundamental in defining the centromeric loci. Newly synthesized CENP-A is loaded at centromeres in early G(1) phase by the CENP-A-specific histone chaperone Holliday junction recognition...
متن کاملBudding Yeast Chromosome Structure and Dynamics during Mitosis
Using green fluorescent protein probes and rapid acquisition of high-resolution fluorescence images, sister centromeres in budding yeast are found to be separated and oscillate between spindle poles before anaphase B spindle elongation. The rates of movement during these oscillations are similar to those of microtubule plus end dynamics. The degree of preanaphase separation varies widely, with ...
