Dynein at the kinetochore

Journal of Cell Science, 2023
ABSTRACT The microtubule minus-end-directed motility of cytoplasmic dynein 1 (dynein), arguably the most complex and versatile cytoskeletal motor, is harnessed for diverse functions, such as long-range organelle transport in neuronal axons and spindle assembly in dividing cells.

The kinetochore of the hemiptera

Chromosoma, 1961
(1) Breakage of chromosomes was induced by X-rays in adult and nymphal males of Euschistus servus, E. tristigmus and Solubea pugnax (Pentatomidae; Hemiptera-Heteroptera). (2) The diffuse nature of the kinetochore is demonstrated by the ability of chromosome fragments to perpetuate themselves mitotically through many cell generations of ...

Ran at kinetochores [PDF]

open access: possibleBiochemical Society Transactions, 2006
The Ran GTPase controls many cellular functions, including nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, spindle assembly, nuclear assembly and cell-cycle progression. Considerable evidence suggests that diffusible Ran-GTP near mitotic chromatin facilitates the release of critical factors from nuclear transport receptors, thereby promoting organization of mitotic ...

The plant kinetochore

Trends in Plant Science, 2000
Kinetochores are large protein complexes that bind to centromeres. By interacting with microtubules and their associated motor proteins, kinetochores both generate and regulate chromosome movement. Kinetochores also function in the spindle checkpoint; a surveillance mechanism that ensures that metaphase is complete before anaphase begins.

Centromeres and kinetochores of Brassicaceae

Chromosome Research, 2014
The centromere-the primary constriction of monocentric chromosomes-is essential for correct segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Centromeric DNA varies between different organisms in sequence composition and extension. The main components of centromeric and pericentromeric DNA of Brassicaceae species are centromeric satellite repeats.

The structure of a primitive kinetochore

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1989
The isolation of yeast centromeres has provided the opportunity to describe the molecular structure of chromosome attachments to the mitotic spindle. Nucleolytic probes of chromatin structure and construction of conditional mutants in centromere function have been used to study the regulation and assembly of centromeres throughout the cell cycle in ...

The kinetochore NUPtials

Nature Cell Biology, 2003
The most interesting discoveries are often those that couple distinct fields of science in unexpected ways. The marriage of the nuclear pore complex to the kinetochore and spindle checkpoint regulation is a recent example, raising the question of why such divergent processes as mitosis and nuclear transport use common proteins.

Kinetochore structure and function

Trends in Cell Biology, 2005
The vertebrate kinetochore is a complex structure that specifies the attachments between the chromosomes and microtubules of the spindle and is thus essential for accurate chromosome segregation. Kinetochores are assembled on centromeric chromatin through complex pathways that are coordinated with the cell cycle.
