The role of myosin phosphorylation in anaphase chromosome movement
(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 ... -
Polyploidy and reduction divisions in cancer and mosquito gut cells
(Wiley, 2013-01)Several articles in a recent issue of this journal have called attention to a possible way by which cancer cells can evade death and become resistant to treatments (discussed in Erenpreisa et al., 2008; Wheatley, 2008). ... -
Do nuclear envelope and intranuclear proteins reorganize during mitosis to form an elastic, hydrogel-like spindle matrix?
(Springer Link, 2011-01)The idea of a spindle matrix has long been proposed in order to account for poorly understood features of mitosis. However, its molecular nature and structural composition have remained elusive. Here we ... -
Precocious cleavage furrows simultaneously move and ingress when kinetochore microtubules are depolymerized in Mesostoma ehrenbergii spermatocytes.
(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.
(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 ...
