Spatiotemporal regulation of LGN/NuMA and astral microtubules generate mirror symmetric spindle rotations

The positioning of the mitotic spindle controls the size, content, and position of daughter cells within embryos and tissues. A major spindle positioning mechanism is cortical pulling whereby the membrane-bound complex LGN/NuMA/Dynein captures astral microtubules and pulls centrosomes toward the cell cortex. Cytoplasmic dynein and astral growth tend to counteract cortical pulling and position…
