YorkSpace Home

YorkSpace is York University's Institutional Repository. It is a platform that enables York community members to organize and preserve their research online in an institutional context. It showcases the scholarship of the York University community through the use of a special standards-based software platform that collects usage statistics and provides exceptional visibility on the web.

Elastic ‘tethers’ connect separating anaphase chromosomes in a broad range of animal cells.

Forer, Arthur; Duquette, Michelle L.; Paliulis, Leocadia V.; Fegaras, E.; Ono, M.; Preece, D.; Berns, Michael (Elsevier, 2017-09)

We describe the general occurrence in animal cells of elastic components (“tethers”) that connect individual chromosomes moving to opposite poles during anaphase. Tethers, originally described in crane-fly spermatocytes, ...
The role of myosin phosphorylation in anaphase chromosome movement

Sheykhani, Rozhan; Shirodkar, Purnata V.; Forer, Arthur (Elsevier, 2013-04)

This work deals with the role of myosin phosphorylation in anaphase chromosome movement. Y27632 and ML7 block two different pathways for phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC). Both stopped or slowed ...
Precocious cleavage furrows simultaneously move and ingress when kinetochore microtubules are depolymerized in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes.

Forer, Arthur; Fegaras, Eleni (Springer Link, 2018-03)

A “precocious” cleavage furrow develops and ingresses during early prometaphase in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes (Forer and Pickett-Heaps, 2010). In response to chromosome movements which regularly occur during ...
Chromosomes selectively detach at one pole and quickly move towards the opposite pole when kinetochore microtubules are depolymerized in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes.

Forer, Arthur; Fegaras, Eleni (Springer Link, 2018-02)

In a typical cell division chromosomes align at the metaphase plate before anaphase commences. This is not the case in Mesostoma spermatocytes. Throughout prometaphase the three bivalents persistently oscillate ...
Tethers: elastic connections between separating partner chromosomes in anaphase

Forer, Arthur; Paliulis, Leocadia (Springer Link, 2018-05)

Recent work has demonstrated the existence of elastic connections, or tethers, between the telomeres of separating partner chromosomes in anaphase. These tethers oppose the poleward spindle forces ...
