The metaphase plate is a plane or region that is approximately equidistant from the two poles of a dividing cell. Inmitosis, for instance, the metaphase plate is apparent duringmetaphase. The formation of metaphase plate is in fact one of the indications that the cell is in metaphase. Metapha...
noun Cell Biology. a plane in the equatorial region of the spindle in dividing cells, along which the chromosomes become arranged during the metaphase.Discover More Word History and Origins Origin of metaphase plate1 First recorded in 1935–40...
Despite the fact that TRITC-phalloidin could not detect F-actin in the area of metaphase plate, oocytes staining with antibody against fragment of the actin N-terminal domain demonstrates the presence near the metaphase chromosomes of some spindle-like structure composed of actin filaments. Among ...
During prometaphase, forces exerted at kinetochores, in combination with polar ejection forces, drive congression of chromosomes to the metaphase plate. A major question has been whether kinetochore-associated microtubule motors play an important role in congression. Using immunodepletion from and ...
Book2019, Plant Cell Biology (Second Edition) Randy Wayne Explore book 19.1.3 Metaphase Metaphase begins when the chromosomes line up in a plane midway between the two poles (Walker, 1907; Bajer, 1958b; see Figs. 19.6 and 19.7). The formation of a metaphase plate is not essential for mi...
InCell Biology (Third Edition), 2017 Prometaphase In cells that undergo an open mitosis,prometaphasebegins abruptly with disassembly of thenuclear envelope(Fig. 44.5). Microtubules growing outward from the spindle poles penetrate holes in the nuclear envelope, make contact with the chromosomes, and ...
As the metaphase-like state persists, centrosome fragmentation occurs, chromosomes scatter from the metaphase plate and move toward the spindle poles with an active spindle assembly checkpoint, a phenotype that is reminiscent of cohesion fatigue. PAK4 also regulates the acto-myosin cytoskeleton and we...
(Fig. 4c–e), unlike undamaged aged oocytes where, although there is chromosome misalignment16,39,40, the chromosomes tend to be located at the metaphase plate area (Fig. 4c–e). The combination of high rates of MI exit with a delay in the timing of Pb1 extrusion and grossly abnormal...
