Dynamic positioning of mitotic spindles in yeast: role of microtubule motors and cortical determinants.
In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, movement of the mitotic spindle to a predetermined cleavage plane at the bud neck is essential for partitioning chromosomes into the mother and daughter cells. Astral microtubule dynamics are critical to the mechanism that ensures nuclear migration to the bud neck. The nucleus moves in the opposite direction of astral microtubule growth in the moth...
متن کاملCell Size Modulates Oscillation, Positioning and Length of Mitotic Spindles
Mitotic spindle is the main subcellular structure that accomplishes the chromosome segregation between daughter cells during cell division. However, how mitotic spindles sense and control their size, position and movement inside the cell still remains unclear. In this paper, we focus on the size effects of mitotic spindles, i.e., how cell size controls various interesting phenomena in the metap...
متن کاملMitochondrial positioning in fission yeast is driven by association with dynamic microtubules and mitotic spindle poles.
Microtubules mediate mitochondrial distribution in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and many higher eukaryotic cells. In higher eukaryotes, kinesin motor proteins have been shown to transport mitochondria along microtubules, but the nature of the mitochondria-microtubule interactions in S. pombe has not been explored. By time lapse, total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, or spinn...
متن کاملC-microtubules in isolated mitotic spindles.
Microtubules with incomplete cylindrical structure are present in isolated mitotic spindles of the sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata. In cross-section they appear C-shaped, and are thus similar to the ' C-microtubules' or 'C-filaments' observed previously in other systems. The C-microtubules are not uniformly distributed within isolated spindles, but are typically numerous in the interzonal region...
متن کاملThree-dimensional reconstruction and analysis of mitotic spindles from the yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Mitotic spindles of Schizosaccharomyces pombe have been studied by EM, using serial cross sections to reconstruct 12 spindles from cells that were ultrarapidly frozen and fixed by freeze substitution. The resulting distributions of microtubules (MTs) have been analyzed by computer. Short spindles contain two kinds of MTs: continuous ones that run from pole to pole and MTs that originate at one ...
