TL;DR: It is concluded that the bridging fibre, by linking sister k-fibres, withstands the tension between sister kinetochores and enables the spindle to obtain a curved shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microtubule Sliding within the Bridging Fiber Pushes Kinetochore Fibers Apart to Segregate Chromosomes.
TL;DR: It is concluded that sliding of microtubules within the bridging fibers drives pole separation and pushes kinetochore fibers poleward by the friction of passive crosslinks between these fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force-generating mechanisms of anaphase in human cells
TL;DR: It is argued that sliding of interpolar microtubules and depolymerization at the kinetochore are the main drivers of chromosome segregation during early anaphase in human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microtubule-sliding modules based on kinesins EG5 and PRC1-dependent KIF4A drive human spindle elongation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used combined depletion and inactivation assays together with CRISPR technology to explore redundancy between multiple targets, and discovered that the force-generating mechanism of spindle elongation consists of EG5/kinesin-5 together with the PRC1-dependent motor KIF4A/kinein-4.
Book ChapterDOI
Dissection and characterization of microtubule bundles in the mitotic spindle using femtosecond laser ablation.
TL;DR: This chapter describes a detailed protocol for cutting the microtubule bundles in human cells using a near-infrared femtosecond laser, which provides the ability to precisely sever a single microtubules bundle while preserving spindle integrity and dynamics.
