Characterizing the localization and role of lin-5 and era-1 mRNAs in early C. elegans embryos

Asymmetric cell division is essential for the generation of diversity during development and the function of stem cell lineages. The Caenorhabditis elegans zygote is an attractive model to investigate the mechanisms of spindle positioning during asymmetric ...

Anillin Regulates Cell-Cell Junction Integrity by Organizing Junctional Accumulation of Rho-GTP and Actomyosin

Ricard Delgado Gonzalo

Anillin is a scaffolding protein that organizes and stabilizes actomyosin contractile rings and was previously thought to function primarily in cytokinesis [1-10]. Using Xenopus laevis embryos as a model system to examine Anillin's role in the intact verte ...

Mechanisms of spindle positioning: cortical force generators in the limelight

Pierre Gönczy, Sachin Kotak

Correct positioning of the spindle governs placement of the cytokinesis furrow and thus plays a crucial role in the partitioning of fate determinants and the disposition of daughter cells in a tissue. Converging evidence indicates that spindle positioning ...

Necking and Failure of Constrained 3D Microtissues Induced by Cellular Tension

Mahmut Selman Sakar

In this paper we report a fundamental morphological instability of constrained 3D microtissues induced by positive chemomechanical feedback between actomyosin-driven contraction and the mechanical stresses arising from the constraints. Using a 3D model for ...

Anthrax toxin receptor 2a controls mitotic spindle positioning

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami

Oriented mitosis is essential during tissue morphogenesis. The Wnt/planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP) pathway orients mitosis in a number of developmental systems, including dorsal epiblast cell divisions along the animal-vegetal (A-V) axis during zebrafish ga ...

A 2D/3D image analysis system to track fluorescently labeled structures in rod-shaped cells: application to measure spindle pole asymmetry during mitosis

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Viesturs Simanis, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Anastasia Chasapi, Ioannis Xenarios

Background: The yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is frequently used as a model for studying the cell cycle. The cells are rod-shaped and divide by medial fission. The process of cell division, or cytokinesis, is controlled by a network of signaling proteins ...

NuMA phosphorylation by CDK1 couples mitotic progression with cortical dynein function

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Sachin Kotak

Spindle positioning and spindle elongation are critical for proper cell division. In human cells, an evolutionary conserved ternary complex (NuMA/LGN/Gαi) anchors dynein at the cortex during metaphase, thus ensuring correct spindle positioning. Whether thi ...

MISP is a novel Plk1 substrate required for proper spindle orientation and mitotic progression

Pierre Gönczy, Sachin Kotak

Precise positioning of the mitotic spindle determines the correct cell division axis and is crucial for organism development. Spindle positioning is mediated through a cortical machinery by capturing astral microtubules, thereby generating pushing/pulling ...

Isolation and Analysis of Regulators Coordinating the Nuclear Cycle with Cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces Pombe

Evelyn Lattmann

During the division of a mother cell into two daughter cells the genetic material of the mother cell is replicated and segregated to the daughter cells before the cytoplasm divides into two portions in a process called cytokinesis. In order to maintain the ...
