Dicentric chromosome stretching during anaphase reveals roles of Sir2/Ku in chromatin compaction in budding yeast.
We have used mitotic spindle forces to examine the role of Sir2 and Ku in chromatin compaction. Escherichia coli lac operator DNA was placed between two centromeres on a conditional dicentric chromosome in budding yeast cells and made visible by expression of a lac repressor-green fluorescent fusion protein. Centromeres on the same chromatid of a dicentric chromosome attach to opposite poles ap...
متن کاملTime-Lapse Microscopy Reveals Unique Roles for Kinesins during Anaphase in Budding Yeast
The mitotic spindle is a complex and dynamic structure. Genetic analysis in budding yeast has identified two sets of kinesin-like motors, Cin8p and Kip1p, and Kar3p and Kip3p, that have overlapping functions in mitosis. We have studied the role of three of these motors by video microscopy of motor mutants whose microtubules and centromeres were marked with green fluorescent protein. Despite the...
متن کاملThe role of replication bypass pathways in dicentric chromosome formation in budding yeast.
Gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) are large scale changes to chromosome structure and can lead to human disease. We previously showed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that nearby inverted repeat sequences (∼20-200 bp of homology, separated by ∼1-5 kb) frequently fuse to form unstable dicentric and acentric chromosomes. Here we analyzed inverted repeat fusion in mutants of three sets of genes. ...
متن کاملChromosome associations in budding yeast
The distribution of chromosomes within interphase nuclei is not random. First, in most species there exists a polarized arrangement of chromosome arms, the so-called Rabl orientation, where centromeres are assembled near one pole of the nucleus, while telomeres point towards the opposite pole [for examples from various organisms, see the following references (Foe and Alberts, 1985; Fussell, 198...
متن کاملIdentification of a Mid-anaphase Checkpoint in Budding Yeast
Activation of a facultative, dicentric chromosome provides a unique opportunity to introduce a double strand DNA break into a chromosome at mitosis. Time lapse video enhanced-differential interference contrast analysis of the cellular response upon dicentric activation reveals that the majority of cells initiates anaphase B, characterized by pole-pole separation, and pauses in mid-anaphase for ...
