The spindle matrix protein, Chromator, is a novel tubulin binding protein that can interact with both microtubules and free tubulin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The chromodomain protein, Chromator, is localized to chromosomes during interphase; however, during cell division together with other nuclear proteins Chromator redistributes to form a macro molecular spindle matrix complex that embeds the microtubule ...

A spindle-like apparatus guides bacterial chromosome segregation [PDF]
Nature Cell Biology, 2010 Until recently, a dedicated mitotic apparatus that segregates newly replicated chromosomes into daughter cells was believed to be unique to eukaryotic cells. Here we demonstrate that the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus segregates its chromosome using a partitioning (Par) apparatus that has surprising similarities to eukaryotic spindles.

Disjunction of conjoined twins: Cdk1, Cdh1 and separation of centrosomes
Cell Division, 2006 Accurate transmission of chromosomes from parent to progeny cell requires assembly of a bipolar spindle. Centrosomes (spindle pole body in yeast) are critical for the biogenesis of this complex mitotic apparatus since they confer bipolarity on the ...

Aflatoxin B1 exposure disrupts organelle distribution in mouse oocytes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a secondary metabolite produced by the fungus Aspergillus, which is ubiquitous in moldy grain products. Aflatoxin B1 has been reported to possess hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity, and reproductive toxicity.

Autoantibodies to the mitotic spindle apparatus in Mycoplasma pneumoniae disease [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1988 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 ...

Morphogenetic forces planar polarize LGN/Pins in the embryonic head during Drosophila gastrulation
eLife, 2022 Spindle orientation is often achieved by a complex of Partner of Inscuteable (Pins)/LGN, Mushroom Body Defect (Mud)/Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus (NuMa), Gαi, and Dynein, which interacts with astral microtubules to rotate the spindle.

A regulatory effect of INMAP on centromere proteins: antisense INMAP induces CENP-B variation and centromeric halo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 CENP-B is a highly conserved protein that facilitates the assembly of specific centromere structures both in interphase nuclei and on mitotic chromosomes. INMAP is a conserved protein that localizes at nucleus in interphase cells and at mitotic apparatus
