The inhibition of polo kinase by matrimony maintains G2 arrest in the meiotic cell cycle.

The inhibition of polo kinase by matrimony maintains G2 arrest in the meiotic cell cycle.

Many meiotic systems in female animals include a lengthy arrest in G2 that separates the end of pachytene from nuclear envelope breakdown (NEB). However, the mechanisms by which a meiotic cell can arrest for long periods of time (decades in human females) have remained a mystery. The Drosophila Matr...
