During mitosis, cells must spatiotemporally regulate gene expression programs to ensure accurate cellular division. Failures to properly regulate mitotic progression result in aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. Entry and exit from mitosis is largely controlled by waves of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity coupled to targeted protein degradation. The correct timing of CDK-based mitotic regulation is coordinated with the structure and function of microtubules. To determine whether mitotic gene expression is also regulated by the integrity of microtubules, we performed ribosome profiling and mRNA-sequencing in the presence and absence of microtubules in the budding yeast
