Abstract
Chromosome alignment is a hallmark of mitosis and alignment defects, which persist in anaphase, lead to direct aneuploidy. Alignment at the spindle equator depends on pulling forces exerted at kinetochore fiber tips together with polar ejection forces. However, kinetochore fibers are also subjected to forces that drive their poleward flux. Here I introduce a microtubule flux-driven centering mechanism that relies on flux generated by forces within the overlaps of bridging and kinetochore fibers. This centering mechanism works so that the longer kinetochore fiber fluxes faster than the shorter one, moving the kinetochores towards the center. Kinetochores are better centered when overlaps are shorter and the kinetochore fiber flux is markedly slower than the bridging fiber flux. I identified Kif18A and Kif4A proteins as overlap and flux regulators and NuMA protein as a fiber coupler. Thus, I propose that length-dependent sliding forces exerted by the bridging fiber onto kinetochore fibers support chromosome alignment.
Abstract (croatian)
Poravnanje kromosoma je jedno od obilježja mitoze i problemi u poravnavanju, koji opstaju u anafazi, vode izravnoj aneuploidiji. Poravnanje na ekvatoru vretena ovisi o silama vučenja koje djeluju na vrhove kinetohornih vlakana zajedno sa silama izbacivanja s pola. Međutim, kinetohorna vlakna također su podvrgnuta silama koje pokreću njihov tok prema polu. U ovom radu predstavljam mehanizam za centriranje vođen tokom mikrotubula koji se oslanja na tok generiran silama unutar preklopa između premošćujućih i kinetohornih vlakana. Ovaj mehanizam centriranja radi tako da duže kinetohorno vlakno teče brže od kraćeg, što pomiče kinetohore prema centru. Kinetohore su bolje centrirane kada su preklapanja kraća i tok kinetohornih vlakana izrazito sporiji od toka premošćujućih vlakana. Identificirao sam proteine Kif18A i Kif4A kao regulatore preklapanja i toka mikrotubula i protein NuMA kao spojnicu vlakana. Stoga predlažem da sile klizanja koje su ovisne o duljini, a koje premošćujuće vlakno prenosi na kinetohorna vlakna, podržavaju poravnanje kromosoma.
