Spindle F-actin coordinates the first metaphase-anaphase transition in Drosophila meiosis

Benjamin W. Wood, Timothy T Weil

This study shows that spindle F-actin is essential for the metaphase-anaphase transition in Drosophila meiosis, with calcium playing a role in maintaining the microtubule spindle.
