title: Kar9 Controls the Cytoplasm by Visiting the Nucleus.
abstract: Kar9 positions mitotic spindles during budding yeast cell division. Reporting in this issue of Developmental Cell, Schweiggert et al. (2016) show that modulation of Kar9 stability mediates crosstalk between cytoplasmic and nuclear microtubules, using an elaborate mechanism that involves regulated nuclear transport as well as SUMOylation and ubiquitination.
