Spatiotemporal dynamics of Spc105 regulates the assembly of the Drosophila kinetochore [PDF]
The formation of kinetochores shortly before each cell division is a prerequisite for proper chromosome segregation. The synchronous mitoses of Drosophila syncytial embryos have provided an ideal in vivo system to follow kinetochore assembly kinetics and

Summary: This protocol measures the 3D Euclidean distance (Δ3D) between two/three fluorescently labeled kinetochore components in fixed samples using Kinetochore Delta software (KiDv1.0.1, MATLAB based).

Checkpoint proteins come under scrutiny [PDF]
Details are emerging of the interactions between the kinetochore and various spindle checkpoint proteins that ensure that sister chromatids are equally divided between daughter cells during cell ...

How to halve ploidy : lessons from budding yeast meiosis [PDF]
Maintenance of ploidy in sexually reproducing organisms requires a specialized form of cell division called meiosis that generates genetically diverse haploid gametes from diploid germ cells.

The Drosophila histone variant H2A.V works in concert with HP1 to promote kinetochore-driven microtubule formation [PDF]
Unlike other organisms that have evolved distinct H2A variants for different functions, Drosophila melanogaster has just one variant which is capable of filling many roles.

At each cell division, nanometer-scale components self-organize to build a micron-scale spindle. In mammalian spindles, microtubule bundles called kinetochore-fibers attach to chromosomes and focus into spindle poles.

Cell Division: Kinetochores SKAdaddle [PDF]
Accurate chromosome segregation during cell division requires that kinetochores couple microtubule dynamics to chromosome movement. New research reveals that the kinetochore-associated Ska1 complex hangs on to depolymerizing microtubules and brings some important friends along for the ride.

Chromosome Oscillations in Mitosis [PDF]
Successful cell division requires a tight regulation of chromosome motion via the activity of molecular motors. Many of the key players at the origin of the forces generating the movement have been identified, but their spatial and temporal organization ...

Studying Kinetochore Kinases [PDF]
Mitotic kinetochores are signaling network hubs that regulate chromosome movements, attachment error-correction, and the spindle assembly checkpoint. Key switches in these networks are kinases and phosphatases that enable rapid responses to changing conditions.
