BimC
BimC is a subfamily of KRPs and its function is to separate the duplicated centrosomes during mitosis.Early in prophase, while the nuclear envelope is still intact, dynamic microtubules from each aster spindle overlap at their plus ends. KRPs of the bimC family self associate through their tails...

Mitosis
Mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets, in two separate nuclei. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two cells containing roughly...
