Microtubule attachment and spindle assembly checkpoint signalling at the kinetochore

EA Foley, TM Kapoor - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2013 - nature.com
In eukaryotes, chromosome segregation during cell division is facilitated by the kinetochore,
a multiprotein structure that is assembled on centromeric DNA. The kinetochore attaches …

The Aurora B kinase in chromosome bi-orientation and spindle checkpoint signaling

V Krenn, A Musacchio - Frontiers in oncology, 2015 - frontiersin.org

The kinetochore

IM Cheeseman - Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in …, 2014 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org

Mitosis

JR McIntosh - Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in …, 2016 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
