Spindle pole proteins confine chromosomes to ensure their expulsion during female meiosis

Kan Yaguchi, Lifeng Chen, Abdollah Mohammadi‐Sangcheshmeh…·Jeffrey B. Woodruff

The paper identifies ZYG-9/ch-TOG as a spindle pole protein that binds DNA and packages meiotic chromosomes into polar bodies, ensuring proper genome copy number in oocytes.

The condensate-forming protein eIF4ET ensures adequate levels of meiotic proteins to support oocyte storage

Priyankaa Bhatia, Judith Tafur, Ruchi Kaushik Amin…·Jeffrey B. Woodruff

This study identifies eIF4ET's role in maintaining oocyte proteome stability during long-term storage by forming condensates, with implications for age-related infertility.
