Mutation of a gene that encodes a kinesin-like protein blocks nuclear division in A. nidulans.

Cell - 23 Mar 1990

Enos A P, Morris N R

Abstract excerpt

In A. nidulans, the temperature-sensitive cell cycle mutation bimC4 causes an elevated mitotic index at restrictive temperature. Under restrictive conditions the mutation interferes with separation of the spindle pole bodies, causes abnormal spindle morphology, and prevents nuclear division. We h...
