A microtubule-destabilizing kinesin motor regulates spindle length and anchoring in oocytes.

The Journal of cell biology - 11 Feb 2008

Zou Jianwei, Hallen Mark A, Yankel Christine D, Endow Sharyn A

Abstract excerpt

The kinesin-13 motor, KLP10A, destabilizes microtubules at their minus ends in mitosis and binds to polymerizing plus ends in interphase, regulating spindle and microtubule dynamics. Little is known about kinesin-13 motors in meiosis. In this study, we report that KLP10A localizes to the unusual pole bodies of anastral Drosophila melanogaster oocyte meiosis I spindles as well as spindle fibers, centromeres, and...
