During female meiosis I (MI), spindle positioning must be tightly regulated to ensure the fidelity of the first asymmetric division and faithful chromosome segregation. Although the role of F-actin in regulating these critical processes has been studied extensively, little is known whether microtubules (MTs) participate in regulating these processes. Using mouse oocytes as a model system, we characterize a subset of MT organizing centers that does not contribute directly to spindle assembly, termed mcMTOCs. Using laser ablation, STED super-resolution microscopy and chemical manipulation, we show that mcMTOCs are required to regulate spindle positioning and faithful chromosome segregation during MI. We discuss how forces exerted by F-actin on the spindle are balanced by mcMTOC-nucleated MTs to anchor the spindle centrally and to regulate its timely migration. Our findings provide a model for asymmetric cell division, complementing the current F-actin-based models, and implicate mcMTOCs as a major player in regulating spindle positioning. Acentriolar microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) are known for their role in assembling the meiotic spindle. Londoño-Vásquez et al. discover that a subset of cytoplasmic MTOCs (termed mcMTOCs) regulates spindle positioning by anchoring the spindle to the oocyte cortex.
