## Abstract A basic principle of cell physiology is that chromosomes condense during mitosis. However, condensation can be uncoupled from mitotic events under certain circumstances. This phenomenon is known as βpremature chromosome condensation (PCC).β PCC provides insights in the mechanisms of chr

T h e almost universal recurrence of essentially the same regular arrangement of the chromatin substance in dividing cells indicates emphatically that the same very definitely acting force or complex of forces is operative in them all. Numerous suggestions have been made as to what this omnipresent force may be, but none of them have been able to meet the many requirements of the problem. Moreover, our real knowledge of the whole matter is so scanty that any explanation seems at present a little premature.

One of the profound changes in cellular morphology during mitosis is a massive alteration in the organization of microfilament cytoskeleton. It has been recently discovered that nonmuscle caldesmon, an actin and calmodulin binding microfilament-associated protein of relative molecular mass Mr =83 00
