...Patricia Wadsworth ABSTRACT During anaphase, a microtubule-containing structure called the midzone forms between the segregating chromosomes. The midzone is composed of an antiparallel array of microtubules and numerous microtubule-associated proteins that contribute to midzone formation...

.... Summary: The kinetics of the DNA damage sensor Mre11 and the mitotic proteins Polo, BubR1, Bub3 at DNA lesions during mitosis are measured in Drosophila , revealing their order of recruitment. Mitosis Drosophila DNA damage Polo BubR1 Bub3 Mre11 Rad50 Checkpoint Chromosomes Anaphase...

...Kruno Vukušić; Renata Buđa; Iva M. Tolić ABSTRACT What forces drive chromosome segregation remains one of the most challenging questions in cell division. Even though the duration of anaphase is short, it is of utmost importance for genome fidelity that no mistakes are made. Seminal studies...

... an evolutionarily conserved role in nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) in animals and yeast, is essential for the progression from anaphase to telophase in the second meiotic division in Arabidopsis . Arabidopsis SMG7 is an essential gene, the disruption of which causes embryonic lethality. Plants carrying...

...Renée Deehan Kenney; Rebecca Heald To facilitate their accurate distribution by the mitotic spindle, sister chromatids are tethered during DNA replication, attached by their kinetochores and bi-oriented on the spindle, and then simultaneously released at the metaphase to anaphase transition...

...Yuu Kimata; Mitsuhiro Yanagida Cold-sensitive dominant mutants scn1 and scn2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe were isolated by their ability to suppress temperature-sensitive cut9-665 defective in an essential subunit (human Apc6/budding yeast Cdc16 ortholog) of anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome...

...Julie C. Canman; Nitin Sharma; Aaron Straight; Katie B. Shannon; Guowei Fang; E. D. Salmon Spindle checkpoint proteins, such as Mad2 and BubR1, and the motors dynein/dynactin and CENP-E usually leave kinetochores prior to anaphase onset by microtubule-dependent mechanisms. Likewise, `chromosome...

...James R. LaFountain, Jr; Richard W. Cole; Conly L. Rieder As chromosomes move polewards during anaphase in crane-fly spermatocytes,trailing arms commonly stretch backwards for a brief time, as if tethered to their partners. To test that notion, a laser microbeam was used to sever trailing arms...
