The mbk-2 kinase is required for inactivation of MEI-1/katanin in the one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo.

EMBO reports - 1 Dec 2003

Quintin Sophie, Mains Paul E, Zinke Andrea, Hyman Anthony A

Abstract excerpt

The Caenorhabditis elegans early embryo is widely used to study the regulation of microtubule-related processes. In a screen for mutants affecting the first cell division, we isolated a temperature-sensitive mutation affecting pronuclear migration and spindle positioning, phenotypes typically linked to microtubule or centrosome defects. In the mutant, microtubules are shorter and chromosome segregation is...
