Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the requirement for Drosophila cdc2 kinase during spermatogenesis after generating temperature-sensitive mutant lines (Dmcdc2ts) by re-constructing mutations known to result in temperature sensitivity in fission yeast cdc2+. While meiotic spindles and metaphase plates were never formed in Dmcdc2ts mutants at high temperature, chromosomes still condensed in late spermatocytes and spermatid...
