Popis: Kinesin motor proteins are critical for maintaining mitotic spindle integrity, which is important for chromosome stability. Here, the authors show that the kinesin motor protein, KIF18A, permits the proliferation of chromosomally unstable cells and knockdown of KIF18A induces centrosome fragmentation.
