Abstract
Müller et al. (Reports, 27 October 2006, p. 654) showed that inhibition of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gamma-TuRC) activates the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), which led them to suggest that gamma-TuRC proteins play molecular roles in SAC activation. Because gamma-TuRC inhibition leads to pleiotropic spindle defects, which are well known to activate kinetochore-derived checkpoint signaling, we believe that this conclusion is premature.Mesh:
