KLP61F in Drosophila is a member of the BimC family of kinesins and, as for other family members [1], is required for spindle assembly [2] [3]. KLP61F is a bipolar homotetramer that cross-links spindle microtubules [4]. It is not known, however, whether the function of KLP61F is dedicated to mitosis or whether KLP61F interacts exclusively with microtubules. Previous work suggested that KLP61F functions during...
