Meiotic spindles isolated from surf clam oocytes to morphological purity are biochemically complex, consisting of many polypeptides. These proteins fall into two classes: (a) polypeptides that are apparently cytoplasmic proteins and are not specifically associated with the spindle; and (b) polypeptides that are specifically associated with the spindle. A subset of the spindle-associated protein...
Establishing a bipolar spindle is an early event of mitosis or meiosis. In somatic cells, the bipolarity of the spindle is predetermined by the presence of two centrosomes in prophase. Interactions between the microtubules nucleated by centrosomes and the chromosomal kinetochores enable the formation of the spindle. Non-specific chromatin is sufficient, however, to promote spindle assembly in X...
Cell division in mitosis and meiosis is governed by evolutionary highly conserved protein kinases and phosphatases, controlling the timely execution of key events such as nuclear envelope breakdown, spindle assembly, chromosome attachment to the spindle and chromosome segregation, and cell cycle exit. In mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) controls the proper attachment to and alignm...
During meiosis in the females of many species, spindle assembly occurs in the absence of the microtubule-organizing centers called centrosomes. In the absence of centrosomes, the nature of the chromosome-based signal that recruits microtubules to promote spindle assembly as well as how spindle bipolarity is established and the chromosomes orient correctly toward the poles is not known. To addre...
Centrioles are present in oogonia and oocytes of hamsters, mice, rats, gerbils and man up to the pachytene stage. In subsequent meiotic stages, centrioles are absent. At the time of germinal vesicle breakdown in the mouse several foci composed of electron-dense fibrillar material from which microtubules radiate appear near the nucleus. These fibrillar aggregates, referred to as microtubule foci...
The highly abundant AAA-ATPase p97 is required for diverse cellular processes, of which ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is understood best. Previously, a new role of p97 in spindle disassembly at the end of mitosis has been reported. However, we show that neither addition of dominant-negative p97 mutants nor depletion of crucial p97 adaptors impairs transition of meiotic spindles into ...
Katanin is a conserved AAA ATPase with the ability to sever microtubules, but its biological function in animal cells has been obscure. A recent study using electron tomography has found that katanin stimulates the production of microtubules in the meiotic spindles of Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes.
In human fertilization, the sperm centrosome nucleates a radial array of microtubules called the sperm aster. The sperm aster is responsible for apposition of male and female pronuclei, and later gives rise to the first meiotic spindle. The objective of this study was to determine microtubule assembly and chromatin configuration in rabbit oocytes following intracytoplasmic injection with human ...
Immunofluorescent anti-tubulin staining has been used to follow nuclear progression from dictyate to metaphase II during meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes in vitro. Antibody directed against tubulin isolated from sea-urchin eggs decorates the metaphase I and metaphase II spindles, as well as the cytoplasmic bridge, midbody, and polar body of the maturing mouse oocytes. Changes in the tubulin-...
Contact between telomeres and the fission yeast spindle pole body during meiotic prophase is crucial for subsequent spindle assembly, but the feature of telomeres that confers their ability to promote spindle formation remains mysterious. Here we show that while strains harbouring circular chromosomes devoid of telomere repeat tracts undergo aberrant meiosis with defective spindles, the inserti...
