Spire and Formin 2 synergize and antagonize in regulating actin assembly in meiosis by a ping-pong mechanism.
In mammalian oocytes, three actin binding proteins, Formin 2 (Fmn2), Spire, and profilin, synergistically organize a dynamic cytoplasmic actin meshwork that mediates translocation of the spindle toward the cortex and is required for successful fertilization. Here we characterize Fmn2 and elucidate t...
