Kinetochore protein KNL1 links kinetochore-microtubule attachment and checkpoint signaling during mitosis, The

Abstract
Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes physically separate, resulting in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells. This process is not only essential for the development of a single fertilized cell into a multicellular organism, but also for replacement of damaged and dying cells during the span life of an organism. The distribution of chromosomes during mitotic cell division requires accurate yet dynamic attachment between the plus-ends of spindle microtubules (MTs) and kinetochores, which are protein structures assembled at the centromeric ...
