Domains of the Pavarotti kinesin-like protein that direct its subcellular distribution: effects of mislocalisation on the tubulin and actin cytoskeleton during Drosophila oogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

The kinesin-like protein encoded by pavarotti (Pav-KLP) is essential for cytokinesis and associates with the central part of the late mitotic spindle and interphase nuclei in somatic cells (Adams et al., 1988). Here we define regions of the molecule that regulate its subcellular localisation and study the consequences of overexpressing mutant forms of the protein during oogenesis in Drosophila. Pav-KLP normally...
