The effect of elevated temperature shocks (ETS) on anaphase chromosome movements and spindle structure was studied in lung epithelial cells cultured from the newt Taricha granulosa granulosa. Mitosis proceeds normally up to temperatures of 31--32 degrees C. At slightly higher temperatures (33--34 degrees C) anaphase is desynchronized while still higher temperatures (35--36 degrees C) arrest chromosome movements. The desynchronization of chromosome movement is related on the ultrastructural level to the re-arrangement of kinetochore fibre microtubules (Mts) into hexagonally packed structures, and with the disappearance of non-kinetochore Mts. During desynchronized movement the distance a chromosome travels depends on the structure of its kinetochore fibre: those which have divergent kinetochore fibre Mts approach the poles, while those with hexagonally packed kinetochore fibre Mts do not. The data provide evidence concerning the anchorage of Mts and demonstrate that normal anaphase chromosome movements are functionally related both to the rearrangement of kinetochore Mts and to Mt disassembly.
