Before a cell divides into two daughter cells, chromosomes are replicated resulting in two sister chromosomes embracing each other. Each sister chromosome is bound to a separate proteinous structure, called kinetochore (kt), that captures the tip of a ...

Plk1 bound to Bub1 contributes to spindle assembly checkpoint activity during mitosis
For faithful chromosome segregation, the formation of stable kinetochore–microtubule attachment and its monitoring by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) are coordinately regulated by mechanisms that are currently ill-defined.

Augmin-dependent microtubule self-organization drives kinetochore fiber maturation in mammals
Summary: Chromosome segregation in mammals relies on the maturation of a thick bundle of kinetochore-attached microtubules known as k-fiber. How k-fibers mature from initial kinetochore microtubule attachments remains a fundamental question. By combining
