Mediation of meiotic and early mitotic chromosome segregation in Drosophila by a protein related to kinesin.

Nature - 3 May 1990

Endow S A, Henikoff S, Soler-Niedziela L

Abstract excerpt

Contrary to the traditional view that microtubules pull chromosomes polewards during the anaphase stage of meiotic and mitotic cell divisions, new evidence suggests that the chromosome movements are driven by a motor located at the kinetochore. The process of chromosome segregation involves prope...
