The spindle assembly checkpoint prevents separation of sister chromatids until each kinetochore is attached to the mitotic spindle. Rodriguez-Bravo et al. report that the nuclear pore complex scaffolds spindle assembly checkpoint signaling in interphase, providing a store of inhibitory signals that limits the speed of the subsequent mitosis.
