Meiotic chromosome distribution in Drosophila oocytes: roles of two kinesin-related proteins.
Chromosoma - 1 Dec 1992

Abstract excerpt
Recent new information regarding the proteins required for proper distribution of chromosomes in meiosis has come from studies of Drosophila mutants. These studies reveal that proteins related to the microtubule motor protein, kinesin, function in meiotic chromosome segregation in Drosophila females. The two proteins identified thus far are likely to play very different roles in the process. The ncd protein is a...
