|January 1, 1982
Resumen
Los movimientos de los cromosomas de la anafase en las células requieren trifosfato de adenosina (ATP) para el alargamiento del huso, pero no para el movimiento del cromosoma hacia el polo. Esto sugiere que distintos mecanismos moleculares impulsan estas dos fases cruciales de la división celular.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La división celular implica complejos movimientos cromosómicos impulsados por el aparato del huso.
- Comprender los mecanismos moleculares y los requisitos de nucleótidos de la anafase es crucial para la biología celular.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar los requisitos de nucleótidos diferenciales para el movimiento del cromosoma hacia el polo (anafase A) y el alargamiento del husillo (anafase B).
- Para dilucidar la maquinaria molecular involucrada en la generación de fuerzas durante la anafase.
Principales métodos:
- Utilizando células PtK1 permeabilizadas en un medio de lisis complementado con varios nucleótidos e inhibidores.
- Medición de las velocidades de anafase A y anafase B en diferentes condiciones experimentales.
Principales resultados:
- La velocidad de la anafase B depende de la concentración de trifosfato de adenosina (ATP), con otros nucleótidos que no pueden sustituirse.
- El alargamiento del husillo es inhibido por los análogos de ATP no hidrolizables, ADP, AMP, vanadato, EDTA y reactivos de sulfhidrilo.
- La anafase A procede sin ATP exógeno y no se ve afectada por estos inhibidores, lo que sugiere un mecanismo independiente de las dineína-ATPasas.
Conclusiones:
- El alargamiento del husillo (anafase B) probablemente involucra ATPasas similares a la dineína, que requieren hidrólisis de ATP.
- El movimiento de cromosoma a polo (anafase A) puede ser impulsado por el colapso de un componente de husillo elástico, posiblemente a través de la despolimerización de microtúbulos o la contracción de la red microtrabecular.
- Diferentes mecanismos moleculares gobiernan la anafase A y la anafase B, lo que pone de relieve la complejidad de la división celular.

02:57Attachment of Sister Chromatids
As cells progress into mitosis, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the condensed chromosomes are exposed to the array of bipolar microtubules of the mitotic spindle. The kinetochore, a large, disc-shaped protein complex, is present at the centromere region of the sister chromatids and acts as a binding site for the microtubules. Usually, the plus-end of a single microtubule is embedded within the kinetochore. However, some kinetochores first establish lateral contact with the side-wall of a...
02:11Forces Acting on Chromosomes
During mitosis, chromosome movements occur through the interplay of multiple piconewton level forces. In prometaphase, these forces help in chromosome assembly or congression at the equatorial plane, eventually leading to their alignment at the metaphase plate. The forces acting on the chromosomes are space and time-dependent; therefore, they vary with the position of the chromosomes as the cell progresses through mitosis.

02:17Separation of Sister Chromatids
At the transition from prophase to metaphase, there is a reduction in cohesion along the chromosomal arms, resulting in the resolution of sister chromatids. However, residual cohesin connections remain to hold the sister chromatids together until the transition from metaphase to anaphase. The residual connection prevents any premature separation of sister chromatids, blocking the risks of aneuploidy within the daughter cells.

01:39Anaphase A and B
Microtubules form through the end-to-end polymerization of tubulin heterodimers. Kinetochore microtubules originate from the spindle poles, and their plus-ends connect with the kinetochores on sister-chromatids. Ndc80 protein complexes, present on the kinetochore, form low-affinity links with the plus end of these kinetochore microtubules.
Plus-end depolymerization releases tubulin heterodimers from the terminal region of the microtubule. As tubulin subunits are lost, the Ndc80 complexes detach...

00:50Anaphase Promoting Complex
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...
