Abstract
Cell duplication requires the coordination of nuclear division with diverse cellular morphogenesis events, such as cell wall growth. A novel checkpoint has been identified in yeast that coordinates these two events. Unexpectedly, the dynein-activating dynactin complex, but not dynein itself, is an essential component of this checkpoint mechanism.
