Localization and function of Kinesin-5-like proteins during assembly and maintenance of mitotic spindles in <it>Silvetia compressa</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Kinesin-5 (Eg-5) motor proteins are essential for maintenance of spindle bipolarity in animals. The roles of Kinesin-5 proteins in other systems, such as Arabidopsis, Dictyostelium, and sea urchin are more varied. We are studying Kin...
