Three microtubule (MT) assembly pathways participate in the assembly of the bipolar spindle: the centrosomal pathway, the augmin dependent amplification pathway and the RanGTP/chromosome dependent pathway. To form the spindle, all these MTs are organized by various classes of motor proteins into two interdigitating antiparallel arrays with their minus ends focused at the spindle poles. This focusing activity is provided by the minus-end directed motor proteins Dynein-Dynactin and HSET. Spindle assembly can occur in the absence of centrosomes indicating that the RanGTP and augmin dependent pathways are sufficient. The RanGTP pathway can be studied in Xenopus laevis egg extracts. Addition of RanGTP to these extracts triggers a dynamic proc...
