A new mechanism controlling kinetochore-microtubule interactions revealed by comparison of two dynein-targeting components: SPDL-1 and the Rod/Zwilch/Zw10 complex (2008)

Gassmann, Reto, Essex, Anthony, Hu, Jia-Sheng, Maddox, Paul S., Motegi, Fumio, Sugimoto, Asako, ...

Chromosome segregation requires stable bipolar attachments of spindle microtubules to kinetochores. The dynein/dynactin motor complex localizes transiently to kinetochores and is implicated in...

A conserved protein network controls assembly of the outer kinetochore and its ability to sustain tension (2004)

Cheeseman, Iain M., Niessen, Sherry, Anderson, Scott, Hyndman, Francie, Yates, John R., Oegema, Karen, ...

Kinetochores play an essential role in chromosome segregation by forming dynamic connections with spindle microtubules. Here, we identify a set of 10 copurifying kinetochore proteins from...

Dad1p, Third Component of the Duo1p/Dam1p Complex Involved in Kinetochore Function and Mitotic Spindle Integrity

Enquist-Newman, Maria, Cheeseman, Iain M., Van Goor, David, Drubin, David G., Meluh, Pamela B., Barnes, Georjana

We showed recently that a complex between Duo1p and Dam1p is required for both spindle integrity and kinetochore function in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To extend our understanding of...

Kinetochore Protein Interactions and their Regulation by the Aurora Kinase Ipl1pD⃞

Shang, Ching, Hazbun, Tony R., Cheeseman, Iain M., Aranda, Jennifer, Fields, Stanley, Drubin, David G., ...

Although there has been a recent explosion in the identification of budding yeast kinetochore components, the physical interactions that underlie kinetochore function remain obscure. To better...

The human Mis12 complex is required for kinetochore assembly and proper chromosome segregation

Kline, Susan L., Cheeseman, Iain M., Hori, Tetsuya, Fukagawa, Tatsuo, Desai, Arshad

During cell division, kinetochores form the primary chromosomal attachment sites for spindle microtubules. We previously identified a network of 10 interacting kinetochore proteins conserved between...

KNL1 and the CENP-H/I/K Complex Coordinately Direct Kinetochore Assembly in Vertebrates

Cheeseman, Iain M., Hori, Tetsuya, Fukagawa, Tatsuo, Desai, Arshad

Chromosome segregation during mitosis requires the assembly of a large proteinaceous structure termed the kinetochore. In Caenorhabditis elegans, KNL-1 is required to target multiple outer...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Duo1p and Dam1p, Novel Proteins Involved in Mitotic Spindle Function

Hofmann, Christian, Cheeseman, Iain M., Goode, Bruce L., McDonald, Kent L., Barnes, Georjana, Drubin, David G.

In this paper, we describe the identification and characterization of two novel and essential mitotic spindle proteins, Duo1p and Dam1p. Duo1p was isolated because its overexpression caused defects...

Functional cooperation of Dam1, Ipl1, and the inner centromere protein (INCENP)–related protein Sli15 during chromosome segregation

Kang, Jung-seog, Cheeseman, Iain M., Kallstrom, George, Velmurugan, Soundarapandian, Barnes, Georjana, Chan, Clarence S.M.

We have shown previously that Ipl1 and Sli15 are required for chromosome segregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sli15 associates directly with the Ipl1 protein kinase and these two proteins...

Architecture of the budding yeast kinetochore reveals a conserved molecular core

Westermann, Stefan, Cheeseman, Iain M., Anderson, Scott, Yates, John R., Drubin, David G., Barnes, Georjana

How kinetochore proteins are organized to connect chromosomes to spindle microtubules, and whether any structural and organizational themes are common to kinetochores from distantly related...

Mitotic Spindle Integrity and Kinetochore Function Linked by the Duo1p/Dam1p Complex

Cheeseman, Iain M., Enquist-Newman, Maria, Müller-Reichert, Thomas, Drubin, David G., Barnes, Georjana

Duo1p and Dam1p were previously identified as spindle proteins in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, analyses of a diverse collection of duo1 and dam1 alleles were used to develop a...

Simple centromere, complex kinetochore: linking spindle microtubules and centromeric DNA in budding yeast

Cheeseman, Iain M., Drubin, David G., Barnes, Georjana

Although the budding yeast centromere is extremely short (125 bp) compared to those of other eukaryotes, the kinetochore that assembles on this DNA displays a rich molecular complexity. Here, we...

Implication of a novel multiprotein Dam1p complex in outer kinetochore function

Cheeseman, Iain M., Brew, Christine, Wolyniak, Michael, Desai, Arshad, Anderson, Scott, Muster, Nemone, ...

Dam1p, Duo1p, and Dad1p can associate with each other physically and are required for both spindle integrity and kinetochore function in budding yeast. Here, we present our purification from yeast...
