The word "kinetochore" in example sentences

These complexes become attached to some of the spindle microtubules, which are then termed kinetochore microtubules.

We now believe that proteins in a structure called the kinetochore are among the most sensitive to degradation or mutation. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This force increases the efficiency with which chromosomes make bipolar spindle attachments and regulates kinetochore activities necessary for chromosome oscillation, but is not essential for chromosome congression. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Spindle fibers, composed of microtubules, have attached to the sister pairs of chromosomes at their point of attachment the kinetochore, or centromere. ❋ GERALD L. SCHROEDER (2001)

During meiosis, fibres called microtubules attach themselves to the centre kinetochore of the chromosomes. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Overlaid onto these signals that promote orchestrated cell division are checkpoints that ensure appropriate mitotic spindle formation, a lack of DNA damage, kinetochore attachment, and that each daughter cell has the appropriate complement of DNA. ❋ Dana M. Gwinn Et Al. (2010)

The initial study of centromere coupling reported that in chromosome spreads exhibiting centromere coupling, Zip1 foci and kinetochore pairs occur in approximately equal numbers (about sixteen) and exhibit a high level of co-localization ❋ David Obeso Et Al. (2010)

The Pelletier lab is keenly interested in the molecular mechanisms that govern various aspects of mitotic cell division including centrosome duplication, microtubule dynamics, mitotic spindle assembly and kinetochore function. ❋ Unknown (2010)
