Mechanical basis of meiotic metaphase arrest.

Nature - 25 Mar 1993

McKim K S, Jang J K, Theurkauf W E, Hawley R S

Abstract excerpt

Control of the metaphase to anaphase transition is a central component of cell-cycle regulation. Arrest at either metaphase I or II before fertilization is a common component of oogenesis in many organisms. In Drosophila melanogaster females, this arrest occurs at meiosis I with the chiasmate bivalents tightly massed at the metaphase plate and the nonexchange chromosomes positioned between the plate and the poles...
