Orphan Kinesin NOD Lacks Motile Properties But Does Possess a Microtubule-stimulated ATPase Activity

Matthies, Heinrich J.G., Baskin, Ronald J., Hawley, R. Scott

NOD is a Drosophila chromosome-associated kinesin-like protein that does not fall into the chromokinesin subfamily. Although NOD lacks residues known to be critical for kinesin function, we show that...

Drosophila Nod Protein Binds Preferentially to the Plus Ends of Microtubules and Promotes Microtubule Polymerization In VitroD⃞

Cui, Wei, Sproul, Lisa R., Gustafson, Susan M., Matthies, Heinrich J.G., Gilbert, Susan P., Hawley, R. S.

Nod, a nonmotile kinesinlike protein, plays a critical role in segregating achiasmate chromosomes during female meiosis. In addition to localizing to oocyte chromosomes, we show that functional...

Mutations in the α-Tubulin 67C Gene Specifically Impair Achiasmate Segregation in Drosophila melanogaster

Matthies, Heinrich J.G., Messina, Lisa G., Namba, Ruria, Greer, Kimberly J., Walker, M.Y., Hawley, R. Scott

Drosophila melanogaster oocytes heterozygous for mutations in the α-tubulin 67C gene (αtub67C) display defects in centromere positioning during prometaphase of meiosis I. The centromeres do not...
