Abstract excerpt
The fission yeast spo20+ gene encodes a glycerophospholipid-transfer protein. spo20 mutants are unable to assemble the forespore membrane properly. Here we studied the structural integrity of the spindle pole body (SPB) in spo20-H6 mutants during meiosis. Meiotic cells expressing a GFP-tagged SPB marker protein, Spo15-GFP, showed an excess number of SPBs, some of which were not localized to the spindle poles and...
