Distinct roles for antiparallel microtubule pairing and overlap during early spindle assembly

Correlation of spindle architecture with dynamic behavior shows that pairs of antiparallel microtubules are sufficient to form a bipolar spindle, whereas interpolar microtubules maintain the speed of pole displacement during spindle assembly. The number of interpolar microtubules formed is controlled in part through γ-tubulin phosphorylation.
