Warming up at the poles [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO reports, 2006
The third EMBO workshop on Centrosomes and Spindle Pole Bodies, organized by M. Bornens, S.J. Doxsey, M. Knop and J. Raff, was held at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, between 23 and 27 September 2005. ![][1] This series of meetings (Palazzo, 2002; Stearns & Winey, 1997) began as a joint ASCB/EMBO venture in 1997 ...

Sid2p, a Spindle Pole Body Kinase That Regulates the Onset of Cytokinesis [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 1999
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides by medial fission through the use of an actomyosin contractile ring. Precisely at the end of anaphase, the ring begins to constrict and the septum forms. Proper coordination of cell division with mitosis is crucial to ensure proper segregation of chromosomes to daughter cells.

Spindle pole bodies function as signal amplifiers in the Mitotic Exit Network [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2020
The signal transduction cascade, known as the mitotic exit network (MEN), detects nuclear position by scaffolding its GTPase onto the spindle pole body that moves into the daughter cell during anaphase. Propagating the MEN kinase cascade onto two spindle pole bodies amplifies MEN signaling, resulting in a timely exit from mitosis.

Modeling and mechanical perturbations reveal how spatially regulated anchorage gives rise to spatially distinct mechanics across the mammalian spindle [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
During cell division, the spindle generates force to move chromosomes. In mammals, microtubule bundles called kinetochore-fibers (k-fibers) attach to and segregate chromosomes. To do so, k-fibers must be robustly anchored to the dynamic spindle. We previously developed microneedle manipulation to mechanically challenge k-fiber anchorage, and observed ...

Dynactin-dependent cortical dynein and spherical spindle shape correlate temporally with meiotic spindle rotation in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Oocyte meiotic spindles orient with one pole juxtaposed to the cortex to facilitate extrusion of chromosomes into polar bodies. In Caenorhabditis elegans, these acentriolar spindles initially orient parallel to the cortex and then rotate to the ...

Spindle Alignment Regulates the Dynamic Association of Checkpoint Proteins with Yeast Spindle Pole Bodies [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2009
In many polarized cells, the accuracy of chromosome segregation depends on the correct positioning of the mitotic spindle. In budding yeast, the spindle positioning checkpoint (SPOC) delays mitotic exit when the anaphase spindle fails to extend toward the mother-daughter axis.

An updated view on the centrosome as a cell cycle regulator

open access: yesCell Division, 2022
The centrosome is a multifunctional organelle that is known primarily for its microtubule organising function. Centrosomal defects caused by changes in centrosomal structure or number have been associated with human diseases ranging from congenital ...

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Right Kidney Mimicking a Locally Advanced Renal Carcinoma: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Kidney Cancer and VHL, 2022
An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm with an unclear origin that can arise anywhere on the body. It contains spindle cells (myofibroblasts) with different inflammatory elements.

N-terminal regions of Mps1 kinase determine functional bifurcation [PDF]

open access: yes
Spindle pole body components Spc29 and Cdc31 are identified as targets of Mps1 kinase, which, when phosphorylated, regulate protein–protein interactions in the spindle pole ...

Mechanisms of spindle positioning. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Accurate positioning of spindles is essential for asymmetric mitotic and meiotic cell divisions that are crucial for animal development and oocyte maturation, respectively.
