Biology, 2016 Anaphase B spindle elongation is characterized by the sliding apart of overlapping antiparallel interpolar (ip) microtubules (MTs) as the two opposite spindle poles separate, pulling along disjoined sister chromatids, thereby contributing to chromosome ...

Spatiotemporal control of mitotic exit during anaphase by an aurora B-Cdk1 crosstalk
eLife, 2019 According to the prevailing ‘clock’ model, chromosome decondensation and nuclear envelope reformation when cells exit mitosis are byproducts of Cdk1 inactivation at the metaphase-anaphase transition, controlled by the spindle assembly checkpoint. However,

Anaphase A: Disassembling Microtubules Move Chromosomes toward Spindle Poles
Biology, 2017 The separation of sister chromatids during anaphase is the culmination of mitosis and one of the most strikingly beautiful examples of cellular movement.

Nature Communications, 2018 Female meiotic divisions are asymmetric with the formation of large oocytes and small polar bodies, thought to result from cortical spindle placement before anaphase.

Chromosome Bridges Maintain Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachment throughout Mitosis and Rarely Break during Anaphase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Accurate chromosome segregation during cell division is essential to maintain genome stability, and chromosome segregation errors are causally linked to genetic disorders and cancer.

Single-motor and multi-motor motility properties of kinesin-6 family members
Biology Open, 2022 Kinesin motor proteins are responsible for orchestrating a variety of microtubule-based processes including intracellular transport, cell division, cytoskeletal organization, and cilium function.

Mechanical Mechanisms of Chromosome Segregation
Cells, 2021 Chromosome segregation—the partitioning of genetic material into two daughter cells—is one of the most crucial processes in cell division. In all Eukaryotes, chromosome segregation is driven by the spindle, a microtubule-based, self-organizing ...

eLife, 2022 During anaphase B, molecular motors slide interpolar microtubules to elongate the mitotic spindle, contributing to the separation of chromosomes. However, sliding of antiparallel microtubules reduces their overlap, which may lead to spindle breakage ...

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 In normal anaphase cells, telomeres of each separating chromosome pair are connected to each other by tethers. Tethers are elastic at the start of anaphase: arm fragments cut from anaphase chromosomes in early anaphase move across the equator to the ...

PP1 promotes cyclin B destruction and the metaphase–anaphase transition by dephosphorylating CDC20
bioRxiv, 2020 Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of cyclin B and securin initiates sister chromatid segregation and anaphase. The anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and its co-activator CDC20 form the main ubiquitin E3 ligase for these proteins.
