Abstract excerpt
Accurate transmission of genetic material relies on the coupling of chromosomes to spindle microtubules by kinetochores. These linkages are regulated by the conserved Aurora B/Ipl1 kinase to ensure that sister chromatids are properly attached to spindle microtubules. Kinetochore-microtubule attachments require the essential Ndc80 complex, which contains two globular ends linked by large coiled-coil domains. In...
