The doublecortin-family kinase ZYG-8/DCLK1 regulates motor activity to achieve proper force balance in C. elegans acentrosomal spindles

E. R. Czajkowski, N. S. Divekar, S. M. Wignall

This study identifies ZYG-8/DCLK1 as a kinase that regulates motor activity to balance forces in C. elegans acentrosomal spindles, preventing over-elongation.

ZYG-9ch-TOG promotes the stability of acentrosomal poles via regulation of spindle microtubules in C. elegans oocyte meiosis

G. Cavin-Meza, T. J. Mullen, I. D. Wolff, E. R. Czajkowski, N. S. Divekar, J. D. Finkle, S. M. Wignall

This study shows ZYG-9ch-TOG maintains acentrosomal pole stability in C. elegans oocytes by regulating spindle microtubules, not by forming the poles themselves.

Multiple motors cooperate to establish and maintain acentrosomal spindle bipolarity in C. elegans oocyte meiosis

G. Cavin-Meza, M. M. Kwan, S. M. Wignall

This study identifies multiple motors involved in maintaining acentrosomal spindle bipolarity in C. elegans oocytes, revealing dynein and kinesin-5's roles in spindle stability and chromosome segregation.

Acentrosomal spindle assembly and stability in C. elegans oocytes requires a kinesin-12 non-motor microtubule interaction domain

I. D. Wolff, J. A. Hollis, S. M. Wignall

This study identifies a microtubule binding site on KLP-18 and shows its role in acentrosomal spindle assembly in C. elegans oocytes through interaction with MESP-1.

Excess crossovers impede faithful meiotic chromosome segregation in C. elegans

J. A. Hollis, M. L. Glover, A. Schlientz, C. K. Cahoon, B. Bowerman, S. M. Wignall, D. E. Libuda

This study shows that excess crossovers in C. elegans cause chromosome mispatterning and segregation defects, but these errors are corrected by LEM-3 nuclease and homolog tethers during meiosis.
