Abstract

How chromatin bridges are relayed to the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) during mammalian cell division is unknown. In this issue, Petsalaki and Zachos (2020. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202008029) show that the DNA damage checkpoint kinases ATM and Chk2 signal to the CPC to associate with a pool of cytoskeletal regulators, MKLP2-Cep55, in the midbody center and to delay abscission.
