Telophase

Telophase is the final stage of , the process of eukaryotic that produces two genetically identical daughter , during which the separated chromosomes arrive at opposite poles of the , the reforms around each set to create two distinct nuclei, decondenses from its condensed form, and the mitotic disassembles through of . This phase immediately follows and precedes , the division of the that completes the separation of the daughter . In telophase, complexes reassemble, the reforms from dephosphorylated , and nucleoli reappear, allowing the resumption of normal nuclear functions such as transcription. Telophase also occurs in , the specialized that reduces number for formation, appearing at the end of both meiosis I and meiosis with similar events of nuclear reformation and chromatin decondensation, though adapted to the haploid products of meiotic division. In animal cells, telophase overlaps with the initiation of via a contractile cleavage furrow, while in plant cells, a forms to build the new . These coordinated changes ensure accurate distribution of genetic material, maintaining genomic stability across cell generations.

Overview

Definition and Key Features

Telophase represents the concluding phase of , occurring immediately after , during which the separated , having arrived at opposite poles of the cell, and the cellular machinery initiates the reversal of earlier mitotic modifications to restore the configuration. This stage marks the transition from active chromosome segregation to the reestablishment of nuclear structures, with the two sets of chromosomes beginning to decondense as they cluster at the poles. Key morphological features of telophase include the reformation of two distinct daughter nuclei, characterized by the reassembly of nuclear envelopes around each cluster and the reappearance of nucleoli. Chromosome movement ceases once the chromatids have reached their destinations, and the mitotic spindle begins to disassemble, while preparations for commence; in animal cells, this is evident by the formation of a cleavage furrow that indents the plasma membrane. These visible changes signify the cell's progression toward completing nuclear division. Functionally, telophase ensures the restoration of nuclear integrity by enclosing the genetic material within reformed nuclei, thereby safeguarding the chromosomes before the final separation of daughter cells via . This process is essential for maintaining genomic stability, as it prepares each nascent cell for independent activities, including and . The morphological and dynamic aspects of telophase were first described in 1882 by German anatomist as part of his pioneering observations on in animal cells, where he detailed the longitudinal splitting and redistribution of chromosomes.

Position in Mitosis

Telophase constitutes the concluding phase of in eukaryotic cells, positioned as the fifth stage in the canonical sequence of , , , , telophase, and the subsequent . This ordering ensures the orderly segregation and reformation of genetic material prior to cytoplasmic division, with telophase initiating immediately upon the completion of , when the separated have fully migrated to the . The transition from is marked by a notable slowing of , signaling the shift from active chromosome movement to nuclear reorganization. In typical mammalian cells, telophase is a brief phase that allows for the essential reversal of earlier mitotic configurations. This duration facilitates the timely progression to , with telophase overlapping the initial stages of cytoplasmic partitioning while concluding once the daughter nuclei are fully reformed and functional. In certain organisms, such as , telophase lacks a sharply distinct due to the constraints imposed by rigid cell walls, where the concurrent formation of a during nuclear reformation blurs the phase's demarcation from . The timing and length of telophase exhibit variations across cell types, reflecting adaptations to proliferative demands; for instance, it is shorter in rapidly dividing embryonic cells compared to more protracted durations in cells, optimizing division rates during early development. Prokaryotes, such as , lack a telophase equivalent altogether, as their occurs via binary fission without the structured phases of eukaryotic .

Molecular Regulation

Inactivation of Mitotic Cyclin-Dependent Kinases

The cyclin B-Cdk1 complex serves as the master mitotic kinase, driving the progression from through by phosphorylating numerous substrates that promote chromosome condensation, breakdown, and assembly. Its hyperactivation is essential for maintaining the mitotic state, but inactivation is a critical prerequisite for entering telophase and exiting . Inactivation occurs primarily through ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of cyclin B, orchestrated by the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), an E3 ubiquitin ligase. In late mitosis, APC/C is activated by its coactivator Cdh1 (also known as Fzr in some organisms), which replaces the earlier coactivator Cdc20 to target cyclin B for destruction, resulting in an abrupt drop in Cdk1 activity. This Cdh1-dependent mechanism ensures specific and efficient degradation of mitotic cyclins, distinguishing it from the partial cyclin B breakdown initiated by APC/C-Cdc20 during anaphase onset. Degradation of begins in late following the separation of and becomes fully effective by early telophase, preventing premature mitotic exit and coordinating the transition to . This timing is tightly regulated to avoid disruptions in chromosome segregation or . The resulting low levels of Cdk1 activity permit the reversal of mitotic phosphorylations by enabling action, thereby distinguishing telophase from the high-Cdk1 phases of earlier .

Dephosphorylation of Cdk Substrates

The dephosphorylation of (Cdk1) substrates represents a critical step in telophase, reversing the phosphorylations that drive mitotic events and enabling the restoration of cellular architecture. Following the inactivation of Cdk1, primarily through ubiquitin-mediated degradation of mitotic cyclins, protein phosphatases such as Cdc14 in budding yeast and PP2A-B55 in mammalian cells become activated to selectively target these sites. In yeast, Cdc14 is released from the during the -telophase transition via the Cdc fourteen early release (FEAR) network, which involves proteins like Sep12 and Slk19, followed by full activation through the mitotic exit network (MEN) involving Tem1 and Cdc15; this spatial regulation ensures timely dephosphorylation of Cdk1 substrates such as nucleolar proteins and components. In mammals, an analogous process occurs where inhibition of the Greatwall kinase (MASTL) by declining Cdk1 activity relieves suppression of PP2A-B55, allowing its recruitment to and central for substrate access during telophase. These phosphatases exhibit specificity for Cdk consensus motifs, such as (S/T)P sites, on key telophase-relevant substrates including , , and B . For instance, of lamin B at Cdk1 sites (e.g., Ser395 in humans) by PP2A-B55 promotes its polymerization and integration into the reforming , facilitating reassembly around decondensing chromosomes. Similarly, reversal of Cdk1 on I and II subunits, such as CAP-D3 and NCAP-H, by PP2A-B55 disrupts their chromatin-binding affinity, contributing to the disassembly of the mitotic chromosome . On B, of Cdk1 sites (e.g., Thr232 auto-activation loop indirectly influenced) by PP2A-B55 and PP1 cooperates to relocate the chromosomal passenger complex from centromeres to the midbody, silencing its mitotic activity and preventing premature defects. A hallmark example of substrate-specific reversal is the of at Ser10 by PP1 and PP2A-B55, which begins in late and completes in telophase, directly initiating chromatin decondensation by alleviating the compact mitotic state and allowing access for interphase factors like . This event is temporally coordinated, with Ser10 dephosphorylation ceasing just prior to visible relaxation, underscoring its role in precise mitotic exit. Genome-wide phosphoproteomics in human cells has identified over 16,000 phosphorylation sites, with approximately 9.5% significantly dephosphorylated during early mitotic exit through these phosphatases, including selective reversal of non-Cdk sites initially, followed by Cdk-dependent sites (consensus (S/T)P motifs) on key substrates to ensure resetting of the for G1 entry and preventing .

Additional Mechanisms Driving Telophase

Beyond the core anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-mediated ubiquitination, additional E3 ubiquitin ligases play crucial roles in telophase by targeting residual mitotic kinases for degradation, thereby ensuring the complete silencing of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). SCF complexes, such as SCF^{FBXL2} and SCF^{FBXW7}, specifically ubiquitinate Aurora B kinase, a key component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), promoting its proteasomal degradation at the midbody during late mitosis and telophase. This degradation prevents persistent SAC signaling, which could otherwise delay mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Similarly, SCF complexes facilitate the turnover of Aurora A through interactions involving eEF1A2 and GSK3β, reducing its activity as cells transition to G1 phase. These mechanisms complement APC/C activity by addressing kinase pools not fully cleared by the primary pathway, maintaining irreversible commitment to telophase progression. Calcium signaling pathways, often mediated by calmodulin-dependent processes, coordinate the spatiotemporal dynamics of nuclear envelope reformation with spindle disassembly in telophase. Intracellular calcium transients during anaphase-telophase trigger the association of calcium-binding proteins like annexin 11 with the reforming , facilitating membrane vesicle fusion and lamina reorganization around decondensing chromosomes. Calmodulin, activated by these calcium waves, modulates actin-myosin interactions that support envelope sealing while integrating with microtubule depolymerization signals from the . Such pathways ensure synchronized remodeling, preventing errors in nuclear integrity that could arise from uncoordinated spindle-envelope interactions. These calcium-calmodulin events are particularly evident in systems like embryos, where they link checkpoint resolution to post-mitotic architecture. Recent studies have illuminated novel regulatory mechanisms in telophase, highlighting the dynamic reorganization of domains. Microcompartments—small, phase-separated structures—emerge in and strengthen progressively through and telophase, stabilizing before dilution in G1; this process is influenced by compaction and opposed by loop extrusion activity. Concurrently, loop-extruding proteins such as actively rebuild loops post-telophase, as quantified by in human cells, restoring topologically associating domains essential for gene regulation. These advances underscore how telophase serves as a critical window for epigenetic memory preservation via structural reinforcement. Feedback loops involving the inhibition of (Plk1) further safeguard telophase by preventing reactivation of mitotic entry signals. of at Thr210 by protein 2A-B55 (PP2A-B55), often in coordination with ENSA-mediated regulation, inactivates the during mitotic exit, disrupting its with Aurora A and (CDK1). This inactivation is integrated with pathways, as SCF-mediated degradation of Plk1 stabilizers enhances access, forming a robust barrier against premature G2/M re-entry. Such loops ensure unidirectional progression through telophase, minimizing risks of genomic instability.

Cellular Remodeling Events

Mitotic Spindle Disassembly

During telophase, the mitotic spindle undergoes structural breakdown primarily through the of its , which shortens and fibers. This process is promoted by microtubule catastrophe-inducing factors such as stathmin (also known as Op18), whose at mitotic exit activates its ability to destabilize microtubule plus ends, facilitating rapid disassembly. Concurrently, katanin, an ATP-dependent microtubule-severing , cleaves internally, generating shorter fragments that depolymerize more efficiently and contribute to the overall shortening of spindle fibers. These mechanisms ensure the timely recycling of subunits, which are repurposed for networks essential for cellular architecture and . Inactivation of motor proteins further drives spindle disassembly by detaching them from . and various kinesins, which maintain spindle integrity during earlier mitotic stages, lose their associations following the relocation of Aurora B from kinetochores to the spindle midzone and subsequent events that alter their binding affinities. Aurora B, through its of microtubule-associated proteins, initially supports spindle function but contributes to disassembly by promoting once relocated, while kinesin-8 family members actively slide apart to accelerate breakdown. The timeline of spindle disassembly begins in late anaphase with initial microtubule shortening and motor detachment, progressing to near-complete dissolution by mid-, allowing the to transition efficiently to . This sequence is conserved in many eukaryotes but varies in plant s, where full spindle disassembly does not occur; instead, residual spindle elements reorganize into the , a microtubule array that guides formation during .

Nuclear Envelope Reassembly

During telophase, the (NE) reforms around the decondensed chromosomes through a coordinated process involving membrane recruitment, lamina reconstruction, and complex reestablishment, restoring nuclear integrity and competency. This reassembly begins as the (ER)-derived membrane fragments, fragmented during , are recruited to the surface, providing the lipid bilayers essential for the double- structure of the NE. The initial step in NE reformation entails the fusion of ER membrane vesicles around the chromatin, facilitated by specific protein complexes that bridge membranes to decondensing chromosomes. Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), a DNA-binding protein, plays a pivotal role by binding to chromatin and recruiting inner nuclear membrane proteins, thereby stabilizing initial membrane attachments. Subsequently, endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III) complexes drive membrane fusion and sealing of gaps in the reforming envelope, ensuring a continuous barrier around the daughter nuclei. These ESCRT-III-mediated events, often in coordination with BAF, prevent chromatin exposure to cytoplasmic components and promote efficient enclosure, with vesicle fusion occurring progressively from the chromatin periphery inward. Parallel to membrane recruitment, the nuclear lamina scaffold reassembles via polymerization of dephosphorylated lamin proteins. A/C and B, hyperphosphorylated by (Cdk1) during to facilitate disassembly, undergo dephosphorylation primarily by protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) during telophase. Repo-Man, a -targeting subunit of PP1, directs this dephosphorylation to specific sites on A/C (e.g., Ser22), enabling their rapid association with chromatin and subsequent head-to-tail polymerization into intermediate filaments that support the inner nuclear membrane. B, dephosphorylated similarly by PP1, integrates into the lamina earlier, providing , while A/C lamins contribute to long-term nuclear architecture. This ordered reassembly ensures mechanical robustness and proper positioning of nuclear components. Concomitantly, complexes (NPCs) reform to reinstate selective nuclear transport by the end of telophase. Nucleoporins, dispersed during mitotic disassembly, reassemble in a hierarchical manner, with scaffold nucleoporins like the Nup107-160 complex initiating pore scaffold formation on the reforming membrane. Nup153, a key nucleoporin at the nuclear basket, is essential for recruiting additional components and stabilizing NPC insertion into the double membrane, facilitating the curvature and fusion required for functional pores. By late telophase, thousands of NPCs are operational, allowing resumption of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and signaling essential for G1 progression. Recent advances have elucidated nanoscale dynamics of remodeling during reassembly, highlighting how ER membrane curvature is induced by proteins such as Vap33 (in coordination with Ankle2/PP2A) to promote and efficient vesicle fusion around . Such insights underscore the interplay between membrane biogenesis and templating, with quantitative mapping showing two distinct NPC assembly pathways—one post-mitotic and one —enhancing overall efficiency.

Chromosome Decondensation

Chromosome decondensation during telophase marks the reversal of mitotic compaction, restoring the to its configuration to enable and nuclear function. This process involves the progressive uncoiling of highly condensed mitotic , which are approximately 700 nm in width, into thinner interphase threads of about 300 nm. The decondensation is orchestrated by the inactivation and removal of complexes, which had driven the looping and compaction during . Specifically, of condensin I and II subunits by phosphatases such as PP1 promotes their dissociation from , allowing the looped fibers to relax and unwind. Concomitant with release, modifications undergo targeted reversals that enhance mobility and accessibility. of at sites such as Ser10, Thr3, and Ser28, which stabilizes condensed structures during , is actively removed by 1 gamma (PP1γ) in complex with Repo-Man and Ki-67 during late and telophase. This dephosphorylation facilitates the reacetylation of H4, particularly at 16 (H4K16ac), which neutralizes positive charges on the tails and promotes a more open conformation conducive to decondensation. At the topological level, decondensation restores higher-order , including the reestablishment of topologically associating domains (TADs), which are crucial for spatial regulation. This occurs through the reloading of complexes onto during telophase and early G1, facilitated by the loading factor NIPBL, which replaces the departing to mediate loop extrusion and domain insulation. reloading ensures the formation of stable TAD boundaries, often anchored by , thereby resuming compartmentalized that was silenced in . Recent advances in imaging have provided quantitative insights into these dynamics. Super-resolution microscopy studies from 2025 reveal that the transition from condensin- to cohesin-dominated genome architecture post-telophase occurs over approximately 2 hours in human cells, with initial binding of about 2-3 cohesin-STAG1 and 5 CTCF molecules per megabase in early G1, scaling up to 8 cohesin complexes per megabase by late G1 to form nested loops and compact TADs. Complementing this, nanoscale DNA tracing techniques have visualized the self-organization of chromatin, showing how mitotic rosette-like structures—characterized by 6-8 Mb overlapping loops extruded by condensin—reconfigure into distinct interphase chromosome territories through stochastic loop repulsion and cohesin-mediated extrusion, with no evidence of helical regularity.
