Principles and dynamics of spindle assembly checkpoint signalling

AD McAinsh, GJPL Kops - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2023 - nature.com
The transmission of a complete set of chromosomes to daughter cells during cell division is
vital for development and tissue homeostasis. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) …

Structure, function, and regulation of budding yeast kinetochores

AD McAinsh, JD Tytell, PK Sorger - Annual review of cell and …, 2003 - annualreviews.org
… De Wulf, AD McAinsh & PK Sorger, submitted). The biochemical activities of the Mtw1 complex,
such as MT binding, have not been determined and we therefore classify the complex as …

The four causes: the functional architecture of centromeres and kinetochores

AD McAinsh, AL Marston - Annual review of genetics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Kinetochores are molecular machines that power chromosome segregation during the
mitotic and meiotic cell divisions of all eukaryotes. Aristotle explains how we think we have …
