Spindle Assembly: More Than Just Microtubules
Do actin dynamics play an active role in mitotic spindle assembly? A new study demonstrates that cortical actin polymerization assists with the earliest phase of spindle pole migration.
متن کاملContribution of Noncentrosomal Microtubules to Spindle Assembly in Drosophila Spermatocytes
Previous data suggested that anastral spindles, morphologically similar to those found in oocytes, can assemble in a centrosome-independent manner in cells that contain centrosomes. It is assumed that the microtubules that build these acentrosomal spindles originate over the chromatin. However, the actual processes of centrosome-independent microtubule nucleation, polymerisation, and sorting ha...

Hyman and Eric Karsenti The second property is the polarity of microtubules: we discuss how interactions between polar microtubules Cell Biology Program European Molecular Biology Laboratoy and microtubule-based motors organize randomly polymerized microtubules into ordered arrays.

متن کاملPressure-induced depolymerization of spindle microtubules. II. Thermodynamics of in vivo spindle assembly
The present experiments were designed to test whether the simple equilibrium assembly model proposed by Inoué could predict variations in spindle microtubule assembly in response to changes in hydrostatic pressure as it does for changes in temperature. The results were also analyzed according to a model based on nucleated condensation polymerization since this recently appears to be the mechani...
متن کاملSpindle microtubules in flux.
Accurate and timely chromosome segregation is a task performed within meiotic and mitotic cells by a specialized force-generating structure--the spindle. This micromachine is constructed from numerous proteins, most notably the filamentous microtubules that form a structural framework for the spindle and also transmit forces through it. Poleward flux is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism use...
