Aurora B switches relative strength of kinetochore-microtubule attachment modes for error correction.


ABSTRACT: To establish chromosome biorientation, aberrant kinetochore-microtubule interaction must be resolved (error correction) by Aurora B kinase. Aurora B differentially regulates kinetochore attachment to the microtubule plus end and its lateral side (end-on and lateral attachment, respectively). However, it is still unclear how kinetochore-microtubule interactions are exchanged during error correction. Here, we reconstituted the budding yeast kinetochore-microtubule interface in vitro by attaching the Ndc80 complexes to nanobeads. These Ndc80C nanobeads recapitulated in vitro the lateral and end-on attachments of authentic kinetochores on dynamic microtubules loaded with the Dam1 complex. This in vitro assay enabled the direct comparison of lateral and end-on attachment strength and showed that Dam1 phosphorylation by Aurora B makes the end-on attachment weaker than the lateral attachment. Similar reconstitutions with purified kinetochore particles were used for comparison. We suggest the Dam1 phosphorylation weakens interaction with the Ndc80 complex, disrupts the end-on attachment, and promotes the exchange to a new lateral attachment, leading to error correction.
