NuMA-related LIN-5, ASPM-1, calmodulin and dynein promote meiotic spindle rotation independently of cortical LIN-5/GPR/Gα

Figure 1: LIN-5 and CMD-1 associate with ASPM-1. Figure 2: Localizations of LIN-5 and DHC-1 dynein heavy chain to meiotic spindle poles are dependent on ASPM-1 and CMD-1. Figure 3: Localization of LIN ...
