Cell division: Timing the machine
Bruce Bowerman1
Abstract
During cell division everything must happen at the right time, or errors occur. A common cellular control device, protein phosphorylation, is now shown to time the assembly of a key part of the division machinery.
Cells divide and thereby multiply. This fundamental process is central to the development and survival of all organisms, and mistakes in it are responsible for a plethora of human diseases, from Down's syndrome to cancer.
