✦ Synopsis

Assembly of mitotic and meiotic spindles into an elliptical bipolar shape is an example of morphogenetic processes that involve local chromosomal regulation of microtubule dynamics for proper spatial microtubule assembly. Global microtubule dynamics during the cell cycle and local microtubule dynamics during spindle assembly are regulated by a balance between microtubule stabilizing and destabilizing factors. How a chromosome-induced phosphorylation gradient may be generated and modulate spindle microtubule assembly through balanced regulation of the activity of microtubule-associated proteins and Stathmin/Op18 is analyzed.

The sentence in the last paragraph of the first column should read: ''Interestingly, the concentration of chromosomes required to induce hyperphosphorylation of Stathmin/Op 18 (29) corresponds to a situation in which each chromosome is surrounded by a uniform cube of extract with a sidelength of 20-

Several studies suggest that polyamines may stabilize chromatin and play a role in its structural alterations. In line with this idea, we found here by chromatin precipitation and micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion analyses, that spermidine and spermine stabilize or condense the nucleosomal orga
