Thus, even in control cells, an increase in the angle between the centrosome position at NEBD and the spindle position at the metaphase anaphase transition appeared to correlate with the occurrence of anaphase chromosomes bridges (red dots in Figures 7BC7D and bar plots in Figure?7E)

Summary Centrosome separation in late G2/ early prophase requires precise spatial coordination that is determined by a balance of forces promoting and antagonizing separation. The major effector of centrosome separation is the kinesin Eg5. However, the identity and regulation of Eg5-antagonizing forces is less well DBU characterized. By manipulating candidate components, we DBU find that centrosome separation is reversible and that separated centrosomes congress toward a central position underneath the flat nucleus. This positioning mechanism requires microtubule polymerization, as well as actin polymerization. We identify perinuclear actin structures that form in late G2/early prophase and interact with microtubules emanating from the centrosomes. Disrupting these structures by breaking the interactions of the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) DBU complex with perinuclear actin filaments abrogates this centrosome positioning mechanism and causes an increase in subsequent chromosome segregation errors. Our results demonstrate how geometrical cues from the cell nucleus coordinate the orientation of the emanating spindle poles before nuclear envelope breakdown. (Faivre-Moskalenko and Dogterom, 2002, Holy et?al., 1997, Pinot et?al., 2009), (Letort et?al., 2016), and in fungi (Brito et?al., 2005, Tran et?al., 2001). Moreover, MCAK(mitotic centromere-associated kinesin, Kif2C/kinesin-13)- and Kif18B-(kinesin-8)-dependent MT DBU depolymerization contributes to bipolar spindle formation when Eg5 is inhibited, suggesting an antagonism between spindle pole separation and MT polymerization in mitosis (van Heesbeen et?al., 2017). The involvement of Tiam-1/Rac and p21-activated kinase signaling in opposing Eg5 could imply cross-talk with the cell cortex in this mechanism (Whalley et?al., 2015, Woodcock et?al., 2010). Accordingly, we have previously reported that inhibiting Cdk1 in chicken DT40 cells results in slow centrosome separation that is constrained by cortical MT pressure (Smith et?al., 2011). DT40 cells.
