Mol Biol Cell. 12:2001;3933-3946 Nuclei of Schizosaccharomyces pombe undergo vigorous oscillations between the poles of the cell at meiotic prophase. GFP-tagged spindle pole body MTs lead these nuclear oscillations and interact distally with the cell cortex in wild-type cells, but not in dynein mutants. The authors propose a model in which nuclear oscillations are driven by cortical/microtubule interactions and the dynamics of microtubule disassembly at the cortex.

Mol Microbiol. 44:2002;381-392 The authors use mutations and GFP-labeled proteins to show that localization of the dynein intermediate and heavy chains to MT plus ends in A. nidulans requires both dynein subunits.

Mol Biol Cell. 12:2001;2195-2206 This paper demonstrates that the abnormal hyphal morphology of ropy mutants is not a necessary consequence of the nuclear migration defect seen in most of these mutants. Although mutations in the RO2 (p65), RO7 (Arp11), and RO12 (p25) subunits of the dynactin pointed end complex have abnormal curled hyphae, as do all the other Neurospora crassa ropy mutants, nuclear distribution is normal in RO12.

The import of these two papers for dynein-mediated nuclear positioning is that because microtubule dynamics affect nuclear positioning, the effect of dynein on positioning could just as well be mediated via an effect of dynein on microtubule dynamics as by dynein motor activity per se.

The adenomatous polyposis coli protein unambiguously localizes to microtubule plus ends and is involved in establishing parallel arrays of microtubule bundles in highly polarized epithelial cells. J Cell Biol. 157:2002;1041-1048 It had previously been shown (see Mimori-Kiyosue et al. [2000] [41]) that EB1, a protein associated with the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein, is found at the plus ends of microtubules. This paper rounds out the picture by showing that APC co-locates with EB1 at microtubule plus ends in polarized epithelial cells in which microtubule polarity has been definitively established by hook decoration. The authors show that in mice heterozygous for APC, there are fewer microtubule bundles, suggesting that the presence of APC stabilizes microtubules.
