Spindle assembly checkpoint strength is linked to cell fate in theCaenorhabditis elegansembryo

Abstract excerpt

The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is a conserved mitotic regulator that preserves genome stability by monitoring kinetochore–microtubule attachments and blocking anaphase onset until chromosome biorientation is achieved. Despite its central role in maintaining mitotic fidelity, the ability of the SAC to delay mitotic exit in the presence of kinetochore–microtubule attachment defects (SAC “strength”) appears...
