This study shows that PLK-1 tethered on BUB-1 promotes CDC-20 recruitment to kinetochores, ensuring timely mitosis in C. elegans embryos through phosphoregulation.

This study shows that Polo-like kinase 1 directly controls microtubule-nucleating sites on centrosomes, independent of centrosome size, and is critical for spindle assembly.

The paper investigates cytokinesis in C. elegans embryos, showing that positive feedback between myosin and cortical flow accelerates ring constriction rate as the ring shrinks.

This study shows CYK-4, but not ZEN-4, is required for oocyte cellularization in C. elegans germline syncytia through a C1-GAP module that targets it to intercellular bridges.
