Pac-man motility of kinetochores unleashed by laser microsurgery
Experiments reveal pac-man motility in kinetochores of X-Y chromosomes, even though their normal behavior is dominated by traction fiber mechanics. A laser microbeam is used to release kinetochores in anaphase from tension. There is a poleward motion of released kinetochores twice as fast as normal...
