Merotelic kinetochore orientation, aneuploidy, and cancer

D Cimini�- Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Reviews on�…, 2008 - Elsevier
Accurate chromosome segregation in mitosis is crucial to maintain a diploid chromosome
number. A majority of cancer cells are aneuploid and chromosomally unstable, ie they tend�…

[HTML][HTML] Merotelic kinetochore attachment: causes and effects

J Gregan, S Polakova, L Zhang, IM Tolić-N�rrelykke…�- Trends in cell�…, 2011 - cell.com
Accurate chromosome segregation depends on the proper attachment of sister kinetochores
to microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles. Merotelic kinetochore orientation is�…

Aneuploidy: a matter of bad connections

D Cimini, F Degrassi�- Trends in cell biology, 2005 - cell.com
Proper chromosome segregation is required to maintain the appropriate number of
chromosomes from one cell generation to the next and to prevent aneuploidy, the condition�…

Merotelic kinetochore orientation is a major mechanism of aneuploidy in mitotic mammalian tissue cells

D Cimini, B Howell, P Maddox, A Khodjakov…�- The Journal of cell�…, 2001 - rupress.org
In mitotic cells, an error in chromosome segregation occurs when a chromosome is left near
the spindle equator after anaphase onset (lagging chromosome). In PtK1 cells, we found�…

Merotelic kinetochore orientation occurs frequently during early mitosis in mammalian tissue cells and error correction is achieved by two different mechanisms

D Cimini, B Moree, JC Canman…�- Journal of cell�…, 2003 - journals.biologists.com
Merotelic kinetochore orientation is an error that occurs when a single kinetochore becomes
attached to microtubules from two spindle poles rather than just to one pole. We obtained�…

[HTML][HTML] Aurora kinase promotes turnover of kinetochore microtubules to reduce chromosome segregation errors

D Cimini, X Wan, CB Hirel, ED Salmon�- Current Biology, 2006 - cell.com
Merotelic kinetochore orientation is a misattachment in which a single kinetochore binds
microtubules from both spindle poles rather than just one and can produce anaphase�…
