Summary

A recent study highlights the indispensability of the augmin complex for the construction of mitotic spindle bridging fibers, which in turn support accurate chromosome attachment and segregation.}, number={3}, journal={CURRENT BIOLOGY}, author={Begley, Marcus A. and Elting, Mary Williard}, year={2023}, month={Feb}, pages={R118–R121} } @article{begley_solon_davis_sherrill_ohi_eltinga_2021, title={K-fiber bundles in the mitotic spindle are mechanically reinforced by Kif15}, volume={32}, ISSN={["1939-4586"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1091/mbc.e20-06-0426}, DOI={10.1091/mbc.E20-06-0426}, abstractNote={ The mammalian kinetochore fiber (k-fiber) connects chromosomes to the spindle and supports segregation. We cut k-fibers by laser ablation to probe mechanical connections of microtubules within the bundle. We find that kinesin-12 Kif15 cross-links mediate k-fiber bundling. K-fiber bundling forces are in active competition with forces that cluster microtubule minus-ends. }, number={22}, journal={MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL}, publisher={American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB)}, author={Begley, Marcus A. and Solon, April L. and Davis, Elizabeth Mae and Sherrill, Michael Grant and Ohi, Ryoma and Eltinga, Mary Williard}, editor={Walczak, ClaireEditor}, year={2021}, month={Dec} }
