PhenotypeWBPhenotype:0001903RemarkCentrosome duplication fails prior to the second mitotic division in sas-4(RNAi) embryos. In addition authors show that centriolar SAS-4 levels determine centrosome size. In all sas-4((RNAi) embryos microtubule dynamics and spindle assembly were identical to wild-type during the first mitotic division. However as sas-4(RNAi) embryos entered their second division, each daughter cell assembled only a single centrosomal microtubule aster. These single asters increased normally in size as the cells entered mitosis,and monopolar spindles were formed.
