Chromosome Segregation: Correcting Improper Attachment
Accurate chromosome segregation requires that the two sister kinetochores attach to microtubules from opposite spindle poles. New work reveals how a kinetochore can segregate properly while remaining improperly attached to two spindle poles.
متن کاملChromosome Segregation: Correcting Improperly Attached Chromosomes
Two new studies show that Aurora B kinase corrects improperly attached chromosomes by recruiting molecules necessary for eliminating the bad attachments and by regulating the turnover of the kinetochore fiber.
متن کاملCrosstalk between microtubule attachment complexes ensures accurate chromosome segregation.
The microtubule-based mitotic spindle segregates chromosomes during cell division. During chromosome segregation, the centromeric regions of chromosomes build kinetochores that establish end-coupled attachments to spindle microtubules. Here, we used the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo as a model system to examine the crosstalk between two kinetochore protein complexes implicated in temporally dis...
متن کاملDepletion of centromeric MCAK leads to chromosome congression and segregation defects due to improper kinetochore attachments.
The complex behavior of chromosomes during mitosis is accomplished by precise binding and highly regulated polymerization dynamics of kinetochore microtubules. Previous studies have implicated Kin Is, unique kinesins that depolymerize microtubules, in regulating chromosome positioning. We have characterized the immunofluorescence localization of centromere-bound MCAK and found that MCAK localiz...
متن کاملBacterial chromosome segregation.
Dividing cells have mechanisms to ensure that their genomes are faithfully segregated into daughter cells. In bacteria, the description of these mechanisms has been considerably improved in the recent years. This review focuses on the different aspects of bacterial chromosome segregation that can be understood thanks to the studies performed with model organisms: Escherichia coli, Bacillus subt...
