Mechanical coupling with the nuclear envelope shapes the S. pombe mitotic spindle

M. A. Begley, C. Pagan Medina, T. Couture, P. Zareiesfandabadi, M. B. Rapp, M. Tirfe, S. LeBlanc, M. D. Betterton, M. W. Elting

This study shows that the mitotic spindle and nuclear envelope in S. pombe mechanically influence each other during closed mitosis, with spindle compression relieved by reducing nuclear envelope tension.

A unified model for the dynamics of ATP-independent ultrafast contraction

C. Floyd, A. T. Molines, X. Lei, J. E. Honts, F. Chang, M. W. Elting, S. Vaikuntanathan, A. R. Dinner, M. S. Bhamla

This study develops a minimal mathematical model to explain ultrafast contraction in ciliated protists, identifying three dynamic regimes based on chemical driving rates and inertia.

The collapse of the spindle following ablation in S. pombe is mediated by microtubules and the motor protein dynein

P. Zareiesfandabadi, M. W. Elting

This study investigates spindle collapse in S. pombe after laser ablation, finding that microtubules and dynein, not nuclear forces, mediate the collapse.

Automated tracking of S. pombe spindle elongation dynamics

A. S. M. Uzsoy, P. Zareiesfandabadi, J. Jennings, A. F. Kemper, M. W. Elting

The paper develops an ImageJ plugin to automatically track S. pombe spindle length over time, improving efficiency and enabling large-scale analysis of mitotic progression.

K-fiber bundles in the mitotic spindle are mechanically reinforced by Kif15

M. A. Begley, A. L. Solon, E. M. Davis, M. G. Sherrill, R. Ohi, M. W. Elting

This study investigates how Kif15 reinforces k-fiber bundles in the mitotic spindle through microtubule crosslinking, preventing chromosome segregation errors.

Mapping load-bearing in the mammalian spindle reveals local kinetochore-fiber anchorage that provides mechanical isolation and redundancy

M. W. Elting, M. Prakash, D. B. Udy, S. Dumont

The paper maps load-bearing in the mammalian spindle and identifies local kinetochore-fiber anchorage mechanisms that provide mechanical isolation and redundancy.
