Accurate segregation of sister chromosomes during mitosis depends on the assembly of structural proteins at the kinetochore that link spindle microtubule plus-ends to centromeric DNA (CEN DNA). The ...
Protein kinase signaling along the kinetochore–centromere axis is crucial to assure mitotic fidelity, yet the details of its spatial coordination are obscure. Here, we examined how pools of human Polo ...
The Sli15-Ipl1-Bir1 chromosomal passenger complex is essential for proper kinetochore--microtubule attachment and spindle stability in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During early anaphase ...
Centromeres are the chromosomal domains at which the kinetochore, a protein complex required for the correct separation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis, is assembled. The incorporation of ...
In living organisms cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. During mitotic and meiotic ...
Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes. Every time a cell divides, the genetic material, DNA, is replicated and folded into structures called chromosomes in a process called mitosis.
As a human cell begins division, its 23 chromosomes duplicate into identical copies that remain joined at a region called the centromere. Here lies the kinetochore, a complicated assembly of proteins ...
The cell cycle, the biological process underlying how cells grow and multiply, is tightly regulated to ensure a faithful distribution of genetic material to ‘daughter’ cells. This tight regulation of ...
(Phys.org) -- With the first-ever three-dimensional image of an isolated kinetochore – the bulky molecular machine that connects a chromosome to the long, thin microtubules that tug it to one end of a ...
In living organisms cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. During mitotic and meiotic ...
It's a cellular process going on since one billion years, yet we are not able to replicate it, nor to fully understand it. Mitosis, the mechanism of cell division that is so important for life, ...
(Nanowerk News) It's a cellular process going on since one billion years, yet we are not able to replicate it, nor to fully understand it. Mitosis, the mechanism of cell division that is so important ...
