Function

CUT7_SCHPO Could be a spindle pole body motor. On transition from G2 to M phase of the cell cycle, the spindle pole body duplicates; the daughter pole bodies seed microtubules which interdigitate to form a short spindle that elongates to span the nucleus at metaphase. Mutations at cut7 block spindle formation.
