During cell division, remodelling of the nuclear envelope enables chromosome segregation by the mitotic spindle<sup>1</sup>. The reformation of sealed nuclei requires ESCRTs (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) and LEM2, a transmembrane ESCRT adaptor<sup>2-4</sup>. Here we show how the ability of LEM2 to condense on microtubules governs the activation of ESCRTs and coordinated spindle disassembly. The LEM motif of LEM2 binds BAF, conferring on LEM2 an affinity for chromatin<sup>5 ...[more]
