Joined at the hip: kinetochores, microtubules, and spindle assembly checkpoint signaling

C Sacristan, GJPL Kops - Trends in cell biology, 2015 - cell.com
Error-free chromosome segregation relies on stable connections between kinetochores and
spindle microtubules. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) monitors such connections …

Connecting the microtubule attachment status of each kinetochore to cell cycle arrest through the spindle assembly checkpoint

PT Stukenberg, DJ Burke - Chromosoma, 2015 - Springer
Kinetochores generate a signal that inhibits anaphase progression until every kinetochore
makes proper attachments to spindle microtubules. This spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) …

Attachment issues: kinetochore transformations and spindle checkpoint silencing

B Etemad, GJPL Kops - Current opinion in cell biology, 2016 - Elsevier
Cell division culminates in the segregation of duplicated chromosomes in opposite
