虽然中心体在大多数细胞类型中起组织微管的作用,但卵母细胞纺锤体在其缺失时形成并介导减数分裂染色体分离。在这里,我们使用高分辨率成像的双极和实验产生的单极纺锤体在C。elegans揭示了一个令人惊讶的组织微管和染色体内acentrosomal结构。我们发现,同源染色体对(二价体)周围的微管束运行沿着他们的侧面,而微管密度是非常低的染色体末端,尽管浓度的动粒蛋白在这些地区。此外,我们发现,chromokinesin KLP-19是针对每个二价体的中心周围的环,并提供了大会所需的极性弹射力。总之,这些观察创造了一个新的图片染色体/微管协会在acentrosomal纺锤体,并揭示了一种机制,通过这种机制,中期对齐可以实现利用这种组织。具体而言,我们建议:1)侧微管束的鞘化作用对染色体产生空间限制,从而促进双定向; 2)局部马达介导沿着这些束的运动,从而促进排列。
Although centrosomes serve to organize microtubules in most cell types, oocyte spindles form and mediate meiotic chromosome segregation in their absence. Here, we use high-resolution imaging of both bipolar and experimentally-generated monopolar spindles in C. elegans to reveal a surprising organization of microtubules and chromosomes within acentrosomal structures. We find that homologous chromosome pairs (bivalents) are surrounded by microtubule bundles running along their sides, whereas microtubule density is extremely low at chromosome ends despite a concentration of kinetochore proteins on those regions. Further, we find that the chromokinesin KLP-19 is targeted to a ring around the center of each bivalent and provides a polar ejection force required for congression. Together, these observations create a new picture of chromosome/microtubule association in acentrosomal spindles and reveal a mechanism by which metaphase alignment can be achieved utilizing this organization. Specifically, we propose that: 1) Ensheathment by lateral microtubule bundles places spatial constraints on the chromosomes, thereby promoting biorientation, and 2) Localized motors mediate movement along these bundles, thereby promoting alignment.
