Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 The Aurora/Ipl1 family of protein kinases plays multiple roles in mitosis and cytokinesis. Here, we describe ZM447439, a novel selective Aurora kinase inhibitor.

SUMO targets the APC/C to regulate transition from metaphase to anaphase
Nature Communications, 2018 Signal transduction by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) regulates a myriad of nuclear processes. Here we report on the role of SUMO in mitosis in human cell lines. Knocking down the SUMO conjugation machinery results in a delay in mitosis and defects

Testing of mitosis and meiosis in female and male gametes
Андрология и генитальная хирургия, 2017 Method of quantitative evaluation of the immature germ cells, their pathology in mitosis and meiosis (in semen, embryo and fetal ovaries, of gonad biopsies or fragments of sectioned material) is informative method and should be introduced into the ...

Cdk1 phosphorylation of Esp1/Separase functions with PP2A and Slk19 to regulate pericentric Cohesin and anaphase onset. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Anaphase onset is an irreversible cell cycle transition that is triggered by the activation of the protease Separase. Separase cleaves the Mcd1 (also known as Scc1) subunit of Cohesin, a complex of proteins that physically links sister chromatids ...

Pathogenic mutations in the chromokinesin KIF22 disrupt anaphase chromosome segregation
eLife, 2022 The chromokinesin KIF22 generates forces that contribute to mitotic chromosome congression and alignment. Mutations in the α2 helix of the motor domain of KIF22 have been identified in patients with abnormal skeletal development, and we report the ...

Mad2, Bub3, and Mps1 regulate chromosome segregation and mitotic synchrony in Giardia intestinalis, a binucleate protist lacking an anaphase-promoting complex. [PDF]
, 2014 The binucleate pathogen Giardia intestinalis is a highly divergent eukaryote with a semiopen mitosis, lacking an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and many of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) proteins.

Detection of Ultrafine Anaphase Bridges [PDF]
, 2017 Ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) are thin DNA threads linking the separating sister chromatids in the anaphase of mitosis. UFBs are thought to form when topological DNA entanglements between two chromatids are not resolved prior to anaphase onset.

A comparison of the distribution of actin and tubulin in the mammalian mitotic spindle as seen by indirect immunofluorescence [PDF]
, 1977 Rabbit antibodies against actin and tubulin were used in an indirect immunofluorescence study of the structure of the mitotic spindle of PtK1 cells after lysis under conditions that preserve anaphase chromosome movement. During early prophase there is no

Anaphase specific auto‐cleavage of separase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2002 Sister‐chromatid separation is triggered by a specific proteolytic cleavage of chromosomal cohesins catalyzed by the endopeptidase separase. Prior to anaphase, separase is inhibited independently by affinity binding to securin and by specific inhibitory phosphorylation.

Some assembly required: Redefining the mitotic checkpoint
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017 The spindle assembly checkpoint (also known as the spindle or mitotic checkpoint) is a surveillance system that ensures fidelity of chromosome segregation.
