Abstract
Membrane trafficking and mitosis are two essential processes in eukaryotic cells. Surprisingly, many proteins best known for their role in membrane trafficking have additional 'moonlighting' functions in mitosis. Despite having proteins in common, there is insufficient evidence for a specific connection between these two processes. Instead, these phenomena demonstrate the adaptability of the membrane trafficking machinery that allows its repurposing for different cellular functions.Mesh:
