Chromosome Bi-Orientation: Euclidian Euploidy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Establishment of proper attachments between chromosomes and microtubules is essential for the accurate division of the genome. Two recent studies indicate that these attachments are facilitated by the geometry of chromosomes and the bipolar arrangement of spindle microtubules.

Aurora controls sister kinetochore mono-orientation and homolog bi-orientation in meiosis-I
Aurora-B kinases are important regulators of mitotic chromosome segregation, where they are required for the faithful bi-orientation of sister chromatids. In contrast to mitosis, sister chromatids have to be oriented toward the same spindle pole in meiosis-I, while homologous chromosomes are bi-oriented. We find that the fission yeast Aurora kinase Ark1 is required for the faithful bi-orientati...
متن کاملPOLO ensures chromosome bi-orientation by preventing and correcting erroneous chromosome-spindle attachments.
Correct chromosome segregation during cell division requires bi-orientation at the mitotic spindle. Cells possess mechanisms to prevent and correct inappropriate chromosome attachment. Sister kinetochores assume a 'back-to-back' geometry on chromosomes that favors amphitelic orientation but the regulation of this process and molecular components are unknown. Abnormal chromosome-spindle interact...
متن کاملInner centromere localization of the CPC maintains centromere cohesion and allows mitotic checkpoint silencing
Faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis requires that the kinetochores of all sister chromatids become stably connected to microtubules derived from opposite spindle poles. How stable chromosome bi-orientation is accomplished and coordinated with anaphase onset remains incompletely understood. Here we show that stable chromosome bi-orientation requires inner centromere localization of th...
متن کاملInterplay between mitotic kinesins and the Aurora kinase-PP1 (protein phosphatase 1) axis.
Correct transmission of genetic information from mother to daughter cells is necessary for development and survival. Accurate segregation is achieved by bipolar attachment of sister kinetochores in each chromatid pair to spindle microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles, a process known as chromosome bi-orientation. Achieving this requires dynamic interplay between kinetochore proteins...
متن کاملLateral and End-On Kinetochore Attachments Are Coordinated to Achieve Bi-orientation in Drosophila Oocytes
In oocytes, where centrosomes are absent, the chromosomes direct the assembly of a bipolar spindle. Interactions between chromosomes and microtubules are essential for both spindle formation and chromosome segregation, but the nature and function of these interactions is not clear. We have examined oocytes lacking two kinetochore proteins, NDC80 and SPC105R, and a centromere-associated motor pr...
