Purification of kinetochores from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract excerpt

Chromosome segregation relies on forces generated by spindle microtubules that are translated into chromosome movement through interactions with kinetochores, highly conserved macromolecular machines that assemble on a specialized centromeric chromatin structure. Kinetochores not only have to stably attach to growing and shrinking microtubules, but they also need to recruit spindle assembly checkpoint proteins to...
