How nuclear morphology is regulated during development and disease remains poorly understood. In this issue of Developmental Cell, using a pronuclear assembly assay, Xue et al. (2013) demonstrate that Dppa2, a chromatin-bound microtubule regulator, controls both the morphology and function of the pronucleus by fine-tuning microtubule dynamics.
