Sds22 regulates aurora B activity and microtubule-kinetochore interactions at mitosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010

CENP-F stabilizes kinetochore-microtubule attachments and limits dynein stripping of corona cargoes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Accurate chromosome segregation demands efficient capture of microtubules by kinetochores and their conversion to stable bioriented attachments that can congress and then segregate chromosomes.

The kinetochore uncoiled [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2006
Bill Brinkley had first described the kinetochore in the 1960s. He saw, by electron microscopy, a trilaminar, proteinaceous disc structure that flanked the centromere (Brinkley and Stubblefield, 1966). But further details were obscure for another 20 years.

Kinetochore-fiber lengths are maintained locally but coordinated globally by poles in the mammalian spindle

open access: yeseLife, 2023
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.

Astrin is required for the maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion and centrosome integrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Faithful chromosome segregation in mitosis requires the formation of a bipolar mitotic spindle with stably attached chromosomes. Once all of the chromosomes are aligned, the connection between the sister chromatids is severed by the cysteine protease ...

Studying Kinetochore Kinases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.

Kinetochore protein depletion underlies cytokinesis failure and somatic polyploidization in the moss Physcomitrella patens

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Lagging chromosome is a hallmark of aneuploidy arising from errors in the kinetochore–spindle attachment in animal cells. However, kinetochore components and cellular phenotypes associated with kinetochore dysfunction are much less explored in plants ...

Mammalian kinetochores count attached microtubules in a sensitive and switch-like manner. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents anaphase until all kinetochores attach to the spindle. Each mammalian kinetochore binds many microtubules, but how many attached microtubules are required to turn off the checkpoint, and how the kinetochore ...

Conformational mechanism for the stability of microtubule-kinetochore attachments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Regulating the stability of microtubule(MT)-kinetochore attachments is fundamental to avoiding mitotic errors and ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division.

Poleward force at the kinetochore in metaphase depends on the number of kinetochore microtubules. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of cell biology, 1990
To examine the dependence of poleward force at a kinetochore on the number of kinetochore microtubules (kMTs), we altered the normal balance in the number of microtubules at opposing homologous kinetochores in meiosis I grasshopper spermatocytes at metaphase with a focused laser microbeam.
