Abstract excerpt
During fission yeast mitosis, the duplicated spindle pole bodies (SPBs) nucleate microtubule arrays that interdigitate to form the mitotic spindle. cut12.1 mutants form a monopolar mitotic spindle, chromosome segregation fails, and the mutant undergoes a lethal cytokinesis. The cut12(+) gene encodes a novel 62-kD protein with two predicted coiled coil regions, and one consensus phosphorylation site for p34(cdc2)...
