Interphase Positioning of Centromeres Sets Up Spindle Assembly. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • It has been known for many years that centromeres cluster at the spindle pole body in fission yeast. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Fernández-Álvarez et al. (2016) reveal that the functional significance of clustering is to promote spindle assembly by modulating nuclear envelope integrity at the onset of mitosis.
