The kinesin ATK5 functions in early spindle assembly in Arabidopsis.
The Plant cell - 1 Jan 2007
Ambrose J Christian, Cyr Richard
Abstract excerpt
During cell division, the mitotic spindle partitions chromosomes into daughter nuclei. In higher plants, the molecular mechanisms governing spindle assembly and function remain largely unexplored. Here, live cell imaging of mitosis in Arabidopsis thaliana plants lacking a kinesin-14 (ATK5) reveals defects during early spindle formation. Beginning during prophase and lasting until late prometaphase, spindles of...
