Due to the duration of this experiment we could not use nocodazole to destabilize microtubules, because, even at low doses (33nM 132nM), it caused spindle disorganization
Due to the duration of this experiment we could not use nocodazole to destabilize microtubules, because, even at low doses (33nM 132nM), it caused spindle disorganization. MCAK function at centromeres, implicating hyperstabilized non-kinetochore microtubules in spindle collapse. Conversely, destabilizing non-kinetochore microtubules in early mitosis reduces the reliance on Eg5 for establishment of spindle bipolarity and…
