Mitosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During prophase, the two centrosomes - which replicate independently of mitosis- begin recruiting microtubules (which may be thought of as cellular ropes or poles) and forming mitotic spindles. When the spindle grows to sufficient length, the microtubules begin searching for kinetochores to attach to. Next, the spindle axis elongates, driving the centrioles (and the set of chromosomes to which they are attached) apart to opposite ends of the cell. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mitosis

Israel - Details: Arafat's Fatah Tanzim trick Boy into being Suicide Bomber The information leads to the conclusion that terrorists planned to activate the explosive device against the soldiers by use of a cellular telephone as the youth was passing through the checkpoint; namely to use the youth as a homocide bomber, without his knowledge. Tanzim operators from the city Nablus took advantage of the innocent appearance of the boy and used him, without his knowlege, to transport an explosive device across the checkpoint. It should be noted that this type of activity seriously harms innocent Palestinian population which passes through checkpoints on a daily basis and is evidence of the need for conducting checks at checkpoints. www.kokhavivpublications.com /2004/israel/03/0403152216.html   (387 words)

CELL BIOLOGY: CANCER AND CELL SENESCENCE Cellular senescence is controlled by tumor suppressor genes and seems to involve a checkpoint that prevents the growth of cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. The senescence syndrome is characterized by distinct cellular and molecular changes, with the chloroplast the first part of the cell to undergo disassembly (producing the "yellowing"). One such mechanism is "cellular senescence", which arrests proliferation (essentially irreversibly) in response to potentially oncogenic events. www.scienceweek.com /2005/sw050902-2.htm   (1564 words)

New binding target for oncogenic viral protein This protein corrupts the cellular checkpoint mechanisms that guard cell division and the transcription, replication and repair of DNA. "These proteins are also some of the most broadly acting cellular oncogenes, and include cyclin E, c-Myc, Notch, and c-Jun," noted Dr. Clurman. This protein is part of a ubiquitin ligase complex that adds ubiquitin to proteins to mark them for destruction by the cell. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2005-02/asfb-nbt022505.php   (1564 words)

Fission yeast DNA replication Cellular DNA replication requires precise regulation to ensure first, that the genome is replicated once completely in each cell cycle, and second, that the process of replication is coordinated with proper cell cycle entry and subsequent nuclear division. In the case of these unusual checkpoint-deficient replication mutants, because they never even begin DNA replication, the cell never gets a signal that replication is in progress; thus the intact checkpoint is not activated. A number of mutants affecting DNA replication after initiation have been found; these mutants are able to complete some synthesis, and arrest late in S phase with the elongated, cdc phenotype. www-rcf.usc.edu /~forsburg/main2.html   (2346 words)

HHMI News: Zebrafish May Point the Way to Mending a Broken Heart Two months after the surgery, all evidence of scarring is gone, and the size, shape and cellular activity of the zebrafish hearts appear to be no different from typical zebrafish. The investigators looked at zebrafish with a mutation in Mps1, a gene that encodes a mitotic checkpoint kinase protein critical in cells that regenerate zebrafish fins. In the zebrafish studied, Keating and his colleagues made surgical incisions in the ventral side of adult zebrafish, pushed out the two-chambered heart and then clipped off a chunk at its apex equaling about 20 percent of the total organ. www.hhmi.org /news/keating5.html   (1001 words)

The budding yeast Rad9 checkpoint protein is subjected to Mec1/Tel1-dependent hyperphosphorylation and interacts with Rad53 after DNA damage Damage-induced hyperphosphorylation of Rad9 correlated with checkpoint functions (cell-cycle arrest and transcriptional induction) and was cell-cycle stage- and progression-independent. Treatment with various types of DNA damaging agents results in a rapid hyperphosphorylation of Rad9 that persists until the cellular responses to DNA damage are completed. Moreover, DNA damage-dependent hyperphosphorylation of Rad9 correlates with induction of the DDR in a dose-dependent manner. www.nature.com /cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/emboj/journal/v17/n19/full/7591262a.html   (1001 words)
