    A novel SUN1-ALLAN complex coordinates segregation of the bipartite MTOC across the nuclear envelope during rapid closed mitosis in Plasmodium berghei

    Mohammad Zeeshan, Igor Blatov ... Rita Tewari
    The SUN1-ALLAN complex serves as a nuclear envelope–spanning tether that coordinates the segregation of a bipartite microtubule organising center (MTOC) during the unusual mitosis of Plasmodium.
