Abstract excerpt
Spindle positioning must be tightly regulated to ensure asymmetric cell divisions are successful. In budding yeast, spindle positioning is mediated by the asymmetric localization of microtubule + end tracking protein Kar9. Kar9 asymmetry is believed to be essential for spindle alignment. However, the temporal correlation between symmetry breaking and spindle alignment has not been measured. Here, we establish a...
