Abstract:
The attachment of chromosomes to spindle microtubules during mitosis is
a delicate and intricate process on which eukaryotic cells critically
depend to maintain their ploidy. In this issue of Genes & Development,
Gassmann and colleagues ( pp. 2385-2399) present an analysis of the
recently discovered Spindly/SPDL-1 protein that casts new lights onto
the attachment process and the way it relates to the control of cell
cycle progression.
