The Drosophila spectraplakin, Shot, recruits Patronin to form noncentrosomal MTOCs
The actin-binding domain of Shot anchors the ncMTOCs to the oocyte cortex
Par-1 excludes Shot from the posterior cortex to define the anterior-posterior axis
Shot/Patronin ncMTOCs lack γ-tubulin and grow MTs from stabilized minus-end stumps
