Figure 1: A microscopy assay to study the interaction of the Dam1 complex with dynamic microtubules in vitro. Figure 2: Collection of multiple Dam1 rings at a depolymerizing microtubule end. The ...
The Dam1 kinetochore complex is essential for chromosome segregation in budding yeast. This ten-protein complex self-assembles around microtubules, forming ring-like structures that move with ...
BERKELEY, CA -- A key mechanism in the passing of genetic material from a parent cell to daughter cells appears to have been identified by a team of Berkeley researchers. Their study may explain how a ...
During mitosis, replicated chromosomes are separated to daughter cells by the microtubule-based mitotic spindle. Chromosomes attach to the mitotic spindle through specialized DNA/protein structures ...
