Niccoli T, Yamashita A, Nurse P, Yamamoto M. The p150-Glued Ssm4p regulates microtubular dynamics and nuclear movement in fission yeast. J Cell Sci. 2004;117:5543-56 pubmed

..We also show that Ssm4p collaborates with Tip1p in establishing the shmooing microtubular array. ..

..Expression of both the dli1 and dic1 genes was observed only in cells undergoing meiosis. Dli1p interacted and colocalized with dynein heavy chain Dhc1p...
Fujita I, Yamashita A, Yamamoto M. Dynactin and Num1 cooperate to establish the cortical anchoring of cytoplasmic dynein in S. pombe. J Cell Sci. 2015;128:1555-67 pubmed publisher

..From these data, we propose that dynein anchoring is established by cooperation of transient assembly of dynactin and function of Num1 at the cell cortex. ..
