Microtubules, the ER and Exu: new associations revealed by analysis of mini spindles mutations.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

During Drosophila oogenesis, organized microtubule networks coordinate the localization of specific RNAs, the positioning of the oocyte nucleus, and ooplasmic streaming events. We used mutations in mini spindles (msps), a microtubule-associated protein, to disrupt microtubule function during mid- and late-oogenesis, and show that msps is required for these microtubule-based events. Since endoplasmic reticulum...
