The novel BTB-kelch protein, KBTBD8, is located in the Golgi apparatus and translocates to the spindle apparatus during mitosis [PDF]
Proteins of the BTB-kelch family are known to be involved in multiple biological processes such as migration, cytoskeleton arrangement, regulation of cell morphology, protein ubiquitination and gene expression. KBTBD8 is a new member of this family.

Autoantibodies to the mitotic spindle apparatus in Mycoplasma pneumoniae disease [PDF]
Antibodies to the mitotic spindle apparatus (MS) have been detected in only a very few patient sera studied for antinuclear antibodies by routine screening (G. A. McCarty, D. W. Velencia, and M. J. Fritzler, J. Rheumatol. 11:213-218, 1984). We found anti-MS antibodies to be quite common in sera from patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, especially in ...

Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus (NuMA) Interacts with and Regulates Astrin at the Mitotic Spindle [PDF]
The large nuclear mitotic apparatus (NuMA) protein is an essential player in mitotic spindle assembly and maintenance. We report here the identification of Astrin, a spindle- and kinetochore-associated protein, as a novel interactor of NuMA. We show that the C-terminal tail of NuMA can directly bind to the C terminus of Astrin and that this interaction

Antibodies to Mitotic Spindle Apparatus: Clinical Significance of NuMA and HsEg5 Autoantibodies
The clinical associations of NuMA and HsEg5 antibodies, the main anti-mitotic spindle apparatus autoantibodies, remain unclear due to their extremely low prevalence.We have analysed the clinical data of 40 anti-NuMA- (0.87 per thousand) and 7 anti-HsEg5- (0.15 per thousand) positive patients detected during routine immunofluorescence examination of 45 ...

MAD2 Combined with Mitotic Spindle Apparatus (MSA) and Anticentromere Antibody (ACA) for Diagnosis of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). [PDF]
Background MAD2 is the gene controlling mitosis. Many studies have assessed MAD2 in various types of carcinoma. Antinuclear mitotic spindle apparatus antibody (MSA) and anticentromere antibody (ACA) are related mitotic antibodies, playing roles in ...

Transforming Acidic Coiled-coil-containing Protein 4 Interacts with Centrosomal AKAP350 and the Mitotic Spindle Apparatus [PDF]
AKAP350 is a multiply spliced family of 350–450-kDa protein kinase A-anchoring proteins localized to the centrosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Using AKAP350A as bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen of a rabbit parietal cell library, we have identified a ...

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP2 Controls Spindle Formation via HSC70‐Mediated Stabilization of CLTC During Oocyte meiosis [PDF]
As a major component of the cytoskeleton, intermediate filaments are generally considered to play a supporting role in mitotic cells. They also take part in the regulation of cell motility, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Spindle birefringence of isolated mitotic apparatus: further evidence for two birefringent spindle components [PDF]
ABSTRACT We studied sea-urchin zygote mitotic apparatus (MA) isolated in hexylene glycol, transferred immediately to a glycerol-dimethylsulphoxide medium, and stored for 2 weeks at room temperature. Treatment with 0·5 M KC1 caused loss of 45% of the birefringence, but microtubules remained intact (as seen electron microscopically in ...
