The nucleoporin ALADIN regulates Aurora A localization to ensure robust mitotic spindle formation

S Carvalhal, SA Ribeiro, M Arocena… - Molecular biology of …, 2015 - Am Soc Cell Biol
The formation of the mitotic spindle is a complex process that requires massive cellular
reorganization. Regulation by mitotic kinases controls this entire process. One of these …

Nuclear transport and the mitotic apparatus: an evolving relationship

R Wozniak, B Burke, V Doye - Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010 - Springer

the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and various transport factors that facilitate the …

Direct interactions of mitotic arrest deficient 1 (MAD1) domains with each other and MAD2 conformers are required for mitotic checkpoint signaling

W Ji, Y Luo, E Ahmad, ST Liu - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 - ASBMB
As a sensitive signaling system, the mitotic checkpoint ensures faithful chromosome
segregation by delaying anaphase onset even when a single kinetochore is unattached to …

MAD1: kinetochore receptors and catalytic mechanisms

Y Luo, E Ahmad, ST Liu - Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
The mitotic checkpoint monitors kinetochore-microtubule attachment, delays anaphase
onset and prevents aneuploidy when unattached or tensionless kinetochores are present in …

A membranous spindle matrix orchestrates cell division

Y Zheng - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2010 - nature.com
Eukaryotic cell division uses morphologically different forms of mitosis, referred to as open,
partially open and closed mitosis, for accurate chromosome segregation and proper …
