Cortical sliding mechanism with medium dynein densities ${\tilde{\rho }}_{\text{IS}}$. (a) The dependence of the MTOC-IS distance ${\overline{d}}_{\text{MIS}}$ on time is shown. Probability distributions of the angles α between the first MT segment and the MTOC motion, ${\tilde{\rho }}_{\text{IS}}$ = 200 μm⁻², are shown. (b) t = 5 s, ${\overline{d}}_{\text{MIS}}$ ∼ 9 μm. (c) t = 15 s, ${\overline{d}}_{\text{MIS}}$ ∼ 6 μm. (d) t = 20 s, ${\overline{d}}_{\text{MIS}}$ ∼ 2.5 μm. (e) t = 25 s, ${\overline{d}}_{\text{MIS}}$ ∼ 1.5 μm, other side of IS. (f) t = 60 s, ${\overline{d}}_{\text{MIS}}$ ∼ 0.8 μm. To see this figure in color, go online.
