Cell Division: MAST Sails Through Mitosis
Successful mitosis requires coordinated activities of microtubules and numerous associated proteins. A recent study implicates the microtubule-associated protein MAST/Orbit in a surprisingly wide array of mitotic activities, ranging from maintaining mitotic spindle bipolarity to tethering chromosomes to the ends of microtubules.
متن کاملMitosis can drive cell cannibalism through entosis
Entosis is a form of epithelial cell cannibalism that is prevalent in human cancer, typically triggered by loss of matrix adhesion. Here, we report an alternative mechanism for entosis in human epithelial cells, driven by mitosis. Mitotic entosis is regulated by Cdc42, which controls mitotic morphology. Cdc42 depletion enhances mitotic deadhesion and rounding, and these biophysical changes, whi...
متن کاملCell Fate Decision Making through Oriented Cell Division
The ability to dictate cell fate decisions is critical during animal development. Moreover, faithful execution of this process ensures proper tissue homeostasis throughout adulthood, whereas defects in the molecular machinery involved may contribute to disease. Evolutionarily conserved protein complexes control cell fate decisions across diverse tissues. Maintaining proper daughter cell inherit...
متن کاملStimulated release of histamine by a rat mast cell line is inhibited during mitosis
Stimulated histamine release was depressed at least tenfold in mitotic 2H3 rat basophilic cells when compared with interphase cells even though both contained comparable amounts of histamine. Antigen stimulation of IgE-sensitized interphase cells initiated an influx of Ca2+ that preceded secretion of histamine and a similar Ca2+ influx occurred in stimulated mitotic cells. This strongly suggest...
