Spindles cotton on to junctions, APC and EB1 (original) (raw)

Nature Cell Biology volume 3, pages E67–E68 (2001)Cite this article

Recent work in Drosophila has shown that the adherens junctions of epithelial cells provide a planar cue to orientate mitotic spindles during symmetrical division. This planar cue depends on the function of E-APC and dEB1, homologues of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumour suppressor and of the microtubule-binding yeast protein Bim1.
