Journal ArticleDOI

The molecular architecture of axonemes revealed by cryoelectron tomography.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of rapidly frozen axonemes from Chlamydomonas and sea urchin sperm is described using cryoelectron tomography and image processing to focus on the motor enzyme dynein, and images suggest a model for the way Dynein generates force to slide microtubules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Golgi Structure in Three Dimensions: Functional Insights from the Normal Rat Kidney Cell

TL;DR: Three-dimensional reconstructions of portions of the Golgi complex from cryofixed, freeze-substituted normal rat kidney cells have been made by dual-axis, high-voltage EM tomography at ∼7-nm resolution, placing structural constraints on models of trafficking to, through, and from the GolGI complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of large numbers of mitotic mammalian cells by use of the reversible microtubule inhibitor Nocodazole: Nocodazole accumulated mitotic cells

TL;DR: Nocodazole has very little effect on interphase metabolism, and following drug release, cells return to a normal cell cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

A plus-end-directed motor enzyme that moves antiparallel microtubules in vitro localizes to the interzone of mitotic spindles

TL;DR: The gene that encodes this antigen contains a domain with strong sequence similarity to the motor domain of kinesin-like proteins, and the product of this gene, expressed in bacteria, can cross-bridge antiparallel microtubules in vitro, and in the presence of Mg–ATP,microtubules slide over one another in a fashion reminiscent of microtubule movements during spindle elongation.
