Abstract excerpt
Spindle poisons represent an important class of anticancer drugs that act by interfering with microtubule polymerization and dynamics and thereby induce mitotic checkpoints and apoptosis. Here we show that mammalian SNM1 functions in an early mitotic stress checkpoint that is distinct from the well-characterized spindle checkpoint that regulates the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. Specifically, we found that...
