Abstract excerpt
The conserved protein Shugoshin (Sgo) plays a role in the maintenance of centromeric cohesion in mitosis and meiosis. Human Shugoshin (hSgo) was first identified as an overexpressed protein in breast cancers. Here we demonstrate that hSgo mediates kinetochore-driven formation of kinetochore -microtubules (MTs) during bipolar spindle assembly. The regulated overexpression of full-length hSgo, or of truncated...
