During Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis, specific cells in the P1 lineage rotate their duplicated centrosome pair onto the anterior-posterior axis; this rotation is correlated with and necessary for a differential inheritance of cytoplasmic determinants in the daughter cells. Centrosome pair rotation is sensitive to inhibitors of actin and microtubule polymerization and may require microtubule attachment to a...
