Abstract:
Successful mitosis depends critically on the segregation of chromosomes by kinetochore microtubules. A recent paper describes a conserved protein network from Caenorhabditis elegans that is composed of three classes of molecules, each of which contributes uniquely to the building of the kinetochore-microtubule attachment site.
