Abstract
Kinetochores are multiprotein complexes that link chromosomes to microtubules and are essential for chromosome segregation during cell divisions. In this issue, Alves Domingos et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202311147) show that the conserved KNL-1/Knl1 protein of the Knl1/Mis12/Ndc80 (KMN) outer kinetochore complex postmitotically regulates F-actin to shape somatosensory dendrites.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
