The mitotic spindle matrix: a fibro-membranous lamin connection
Abstract
The mitotic spindle apparatus has attracted the attention of cell biologists for decades. Whereas the main function of this microtubule-based system is to segregate chromosomes, spindle morphogenesis and chromosome segregation must also coordinate with the segregation of the whole cell. The finding that RanGTPase stimulates the assembly of a lamin B-containing membranous matrix in mitosis(1) may provide a connection between the segregation of mitotic chromosomes and the partitioning of membrane systems during cell division.
