________________________

  1. Kinetochore microtubules attach to the condensed chromosomes at
    the centromeres, stabilizing them.
  2. Chromosomal microtubules connect to chromosome ends via
    chromokinesin.
  3. Polar microtubules are not attached to chromosomes but are stabilized
    by overlapping with each other in the center of the cell.
  4. Astral microtubules extend outward from the centrosomes with the
    plus ends anchored in the cell cortex.
    After the centrosomes move to opposite sides of the cell, the duplicated
    chromosomes attach to kinetochore and chromosomal microtubules,
    and align on the metaphase plate.
    Then the links between the sister chromatids are severed and anaphase
    begins.

Q

describe Anaphase A-

A
chromosomes move
toward spindle poles along
kinetochore microtubules, driven
by kinesins that depolymerize and
shorten the tubules.
 This is coupled to disassembly and
shortening of KINETOCHORE AND CHROMOSOMAL MICROTUBULES,
mediated by KINESIN that act as
microtubule-depolymerizing
enzymes

Q

describe Anaphase B-

A

spindle poles separate,
accompanied by elongation of polar
microtubules.

The overlapping polar microtubules slide
against one another to push the
spindle poles apart.

Plus-end-directed KINESINS cross-link
polar microtubules and move them
toward the plus end.

Spindle poles are pulled apart by the
astral microtubules.

Cytoplasmic DYNEIN anchored to the cell
cortex moves along astral
microtubules in the minus-end
direction.

Simultaneous depolymerization of astral
microtubules by middle motor
kinesins leads to separation of the
spindle poles.

27
Q

Direct evidence for the function of intermediate filaments is recent.

  1. Some cells in culture don’t make intermediate filaments.
  2. Injection of cultured cells with ANTIBODY AGAINST VITMENTIN DISTRUPTS INTERMEDIATE FILAMENT networks WITHOUT AFFECTING CELL GROWTH OR MOVEMENT
    The primary role of intermediate filaments is probably to strengthen the
    cytoskeleton of cells in the tissues of multicellular organisms.
    In tissues, cells are subjected to a variety of mechanical stresses that
    don’t affect cells in a culture dish.
    .
  3. Their role was shown in studies using transgenic mice with a keratin
    mutation.

The mutation disrupted formation of a normal keratin cytoskeleton,
resulting in severe skin abnormalities.
