Abstract excerpt
Movement and distribution of nuclei in fungi has been shown to be dependent on microtubules and the microtubule-associated motor cytoplasmic dynein. Neurospora crassa mutants known as ropy are defective in nuclear distribution. We have shown that three of the ro genes, ro-1, ro-3, and ro-4, encode subunits of either cytoplasmic dynein or the dynein activator complex, dynactin. Three other ro genes, ro-7, ro-10,...
