... that the tension exerted by the ECM (through integrin-containing adhesion) generates defined actin-cytoskeleton force fields within cells during interphase (Thery et al., 2005). During metaphase, cells round up to undergo mitosis, but retraction fibres transfer the polarity of tension that was established...

...Heng-Yu Chang; Mark Levasseur; Keith T. Jones Metaphase II-arrested mouse eggs are stimulated to complete meiosis by sperm-induced Ca 2+ spiking. The Ca 2+ signal causes activation of the E3 ligase anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC), leading to the destruction of key proteins necessary...

...Sarah E. Lee; Sanne Jensen; Lisa M. Frenz; Anthony L. Johnson; Didier Fesquet; Leland H. Johnston In eukaryotes an abnormal spindle activates a conserved checkpoint consisting of the MAD and BUB genes that results in mitotic arrest at metaphase. Recently, we and others identified a novel Bub2...

...R. V. Silverman-Gavrila; A. Forer ABSTRACT We studied the effects of various drugs on the poleward flux of tubulin in kinetochore microtubules in metaphase-I crane-fly spermatocytes. We used as a measure of tubulin flux a ‘gap’ in acetylation of kinetochore microtubules immediately poleward from...

... cycle, and becomes slightly heavier in mitosis than interphase. Cut9 in the 20S complex is hyperphosphorylated specifically at the time of metaphase. The truncated forms of Cut9 block entry into mitosis, however. The 20S assembly impaired in the cut9 mutant can be restored by elevating the level...

...Victoria E. Centonze; Gary G. Borisy ABSTRACT Metaphase spindles can be induced to shrink by treating cells with microtubule-depolymerizing agents. During treatment, the paired sister chromatids remain at the metaphase plate and the poles move toward them. The question we asked is whether this pole...

... is currently controversial. We have examined the stability of kinetochore microtubules in metaphase PtKj spindles at 23 °C when microtubule assembly is abruptly blocked with the drug nocodazole. Metaphase cells were incubated in medium containing 34 pM nocodazole for various times before fixation...

Our data show that, at low concentrations, both agents prolong metaphase but differ in their effects on anaphase and cytokinesis. Studies...
