Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • The onset of anaphase is triggered by specific biochemical changes that occur to regulate the division cycle through modulation of the enzyme cascade responsible for cell-wide protein phosphorylation.
  • Faithful anaphase is ensured by Mis4, a sister chromatid cohesion molecule required in S phase and not destroyed in G1 phase.
  • The motor for poleward chromosome movement in anaphase is in or near the kinetochore.
  • Anaphase is preceded by metaphase, by the end of which fully condensed sister chromatids are arranged in pairs in the spindle midzone, defining a structure referred to as the metaphase plate.
  • All the chromosomes are able to coordinate the breaking of their centromeres quite well and the speed at which the chromatids move is impressive so anaphase is a sight to see! (In a living cell, of course.
