Every motion has its motor
Article Abstract:
New research reported by four groups has illuminated how the cell spindles' motor proteins regulate chromosome segregation. Kenneth E. Sawin and colleagues found that the Eg5 kinesin-like protein may link to the matrix at the spindle pole, leading to spindle pole organization. Tim J. Yen and colleagues and Corey Nislow and colleagues found that the kinesin-like molecules are crucial for mitosis. Finally, A.A. Hyman and colleagues identified a yeast protein complex that attaches to the centromeric DNA that houses the motor activity.
