The paper develops a possibilistic model to question the existence of a distinct G2 phase in budding yeast, supporting prometaphase instead and providing a framework to resolve cell cycle ambiguities.

The paper identifies SUMOylation and Slx5 as regulators of spindle disassembly in yeast by facilitating Cin8 ubiquitylation and removal from the mitotic spindle.

This study identifies the mechanism by which Kip2 promotes microtubule growth through a bipartite polymerase module that delivers tubulin to microtubule plus-ends.
