Kinetochores attach the replicated chromosomes to the mitotic spindle and orchestrate their transmission to the daughter cells. Kinetochore-spindle binding and chromosome segregation are mediated by the multi-copy KNL1(Spc105), MIS12(Mtw1) and NDC80(Ndc80) complexes that form the so-called KMN network. KMN-spindle attachment is regulated by the Aurora B(Ipl1) and MPS1(Mps1) kinases. It is unclear whether other mechanisms exist that support KMN activity during the cell cycle. Using budding yeast, ...[more]
