The chromosomal passenger protein birc5b organizes microfilaments and germ plasm in the zebrafish embryo. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Microtubule-microfilament interactions are important for cytokinesis and subcellular localization of proteins and mRNAs. In the early zebrafish embryo, astral microtubule-microfilament interactions also facilitate a stereotypic segregation pattern of ...
