Kinesin-1 and cytoplasmic dynein act sequentially to move the meiotic spindle to the oocyte cortex in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Jun 2009

Ellefson Marina L, McNally Francis J

Abstract excerpt

During female meiosis in animals, the meiotic spindle is attached to the egg cortex by one pole during anaphase to allow selective disposal of half the chromosomes in a polar body. In Caenorhabditis elegans, this anaphase spindle position is achieved sequentially through kinesin-1-dependent early translocation followed by anaphase-promoting complex (APC)-dependent spindle rotation. Partial depletion of...
