The spindle assembly checkpoint monitors proper chromosome attachment to spindle
microtubules and is conserved from yeast to humans. Checkpoint components reside on
kinetochores of chromosomes and show changes in phosphorylation and localization as
cells proceed through mitosis. Adaptation to prolonged checkpoint arrest can occur by
inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdc2.
