Journal ArticleDOI

REC, Drosophila MCM8, drives formation of meiotic crossovers.

TL;DR: The identity and function of the Drosophila melanogaster gene recombination defective (rec) is described and it is shown that REC encodes a member of the mini-chromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family, which is essential for DNA replication and found in all eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Chromosomal Passenger Complex Is Required for Meiotic Acentrosomal Spindle Assembly and Chromosome Biorientation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the ring of CPC around the chromosomes regulates multiple aspects of meiotic cell division including spindle assembly, the establishment of bipolarity, the recruitment of important spindle organization factors, and the biorientation of homologous chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila ERCC1 is required for a subset of MEI-9-dependent meiotic crossovers.

TL;DR: It is concluded that MEI-9 can generate some meiotic crossovers in an ERCC1-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateral and End-On Kinetochore Attachments Are Coordinated to Achieve Bi-orientation in Drosophila Oocytes.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the bi-orientation process begins with the kinetochores moving laterally along central spindle microtubules towards their minus ends, and is antagonized by plus-end directed forces from the CENP-E motor.
