Oscillatory movement of the nucleus involved in meiosis I. This oscillatory movement is led by an astral microtubule array emanating from the spindle pole body, and driven by the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein.

The bundle of microtubules and associated proteins that forms the core of cilia (also called flagella) in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for their movements.

Any of several large complexes that contain two or three dynein heavy chains and several light chains, and have microtubule motor activity.

The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.

Any dynein complex with a homodimeric dynein heavy chain core that catalyzes movement along a microtubule. Cytoplasmic dynein complexes participate in many cytoplasmic transport activities in eukaryotes, such as mRNA localization, intermediate filament transport, nuclear envelope breakdown, apoptosis, transport of centrosomal proteins, mitotic spindle assembly, virus transport, kinetochore functions, and movement of signaling and spindle checkpoint proteins. Some complexes participate in intraflagellar transport. Subunits associated with the dynein heavy chain mediate association between dynein heavy chain and cargoes, and may include light chains and light intermediate chains.

The portion of the microtubule cytoskeleton that lies just beneath the plasma membrane.

The microtubule organizing center that forms as part of the meiotic cell cycle; functionally homologous to the animal cell centrosome.
