Journal ArticleDOI

Carolyn J. Lawrence,R. Kelly Dawe,Karen R. Christie,Don W. Cleveland,Scott C. Dawson,Sharyn A. Endow,Lawrence S.B. Goldstein,Holly V. Goodson,Nobutaka Hirokawa,Jonathon Howard,Russell L. Malmberg,J.

TL;DR: A standardized kinesin nomenclature based on 14 family designations is set forth, which unifies all previous phylogenies and nomenClature proposals, while allowing individual sequence names to remain the same, and for expansion to occur as new sequences are discovered.
Book ChapterDOI
Preparation of modified tubulins
Anthony A. Hyman,David N. Drechsel,Doug Kellogg,Steve Salser,Kenneth E. Sawin,Pam Steffen,Linda Wordeman,Timothy J. Mitchison +7 more
TL;DR: This chapter presents a collection of the various different ways by which tubulins are modified to generate probes for investigating microtubule (MT) dynamics in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aurora B Regulates MCAK at the Mitotic Centromere
Paul D. Andrews,Yulia Ovechkina,Nick Morrice,Michael Wagenbach,Karen Duncan,Linda Wordeman,Jason R. Swedlow +6 more
TL;DR: The results link Aurora B activity to MCAK function, with Aurora B regulating M CAK's activity and its localization at the centromere and kinetochore, and disruption of Aurora B function by expression of a kinase-dead mutant or RNAi prevented centromeric targeting of MCAk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of cytoplasmic dynein to mitotic spindles and kinetochores
TL;DR: It is reported here that monoclonal antibodies to two of these subunits and to another polypeptide that associates with dynein localize the protein to the mitotic spindle and to the kinetochores of isolated chromosomes, suggesting that cytoplasmic Dynein is important in powering movements of theSpindle and chromosomes in dividing cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and partial characterization of mitotic centromere-associated kinesin, a kinesin-related protein that associates with centromeres during mitosis.
TL;DR: Sequence analysis shows MCAK to be a kinesin-related protein with the motor domain located in the center of the protein, which is 60-70% similar to kif2, a kinese-relatedprotein originally cloned from mouse brain with a centrally located motor domain.
