Yeast Fin1-PP1 dephosphorylates an Ipl1 substrate, Ndc80, to remove Bub1-Bub3 checkpoint proteins from the kinetochore during anaphase.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents anaphase onset in response to chromosome attachment defects, and SAC silencing is essential for anaphase onset. Following anaphase onset, activated Cdc14 phosphatase dephosphorylates the substrates of cyclin-

DNA content of a functioning chicken kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
© The Author(s) 2014. In order to understand the three-dimensional structure of the functional kinetochore in vertebrates, we require a complete list and stoichiometry for the protein components of the kinetochore, which can be provided by genetic and ...

CENP-F stabilizes kinetochore-microtubule attachments and limits dynein stripping of corona cargoes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Accurate chromosome segregation demands efficient capture of microtubules by kinetochores and their conversion to stable bioriented attachments that can congress and then segregate chromosomes.

The path of DNA in the kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2006
The kinetochore is the protein-DNA complex at eukaryotic centromeres that functions as the attachment site for spindle microtubules. In budding yeast, the centromere spans 120 bp, there is a single microtubule per kinetochore, and the entire spindle is composed of 16 kinetochore microtubules plus four interpolar microtubules from each pole.

Structural plasticity of the living kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The kinetochore is a large, evolutionarily conserved protein structure that connects chromosomes with microtubules. During chromosome segregation, outer kinetochore components track depolymerizing ends of microtubules to facilitate the separation of ...

The Kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2014
A critical requirement for mitosis is the distribution of genetic material to the two daughter cells. The central player in this process is the macromolecular kinetochore structure, which binds to both chromosomal DNA and spindle microtubule polymers to direct chromosome alignment and segregation. This review will discuss the key kinetochore activities

Chromosome Segregation Is Biased by Kinetochore Size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Chromosome missegregation during mitosis or meiosis is a hallmark of cancer and the main cause of prenatal death in humans. The gain or loss of specific chromosomes is thought to be random, with cell viability being essentially determined by selection ...

Reductionism at the vertebrate kinetochore [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2012
The kinetochore forms the site of attachment for mitotic spindle microtubules driving chromosome segregation. The interdependent protein interactions in this large structure have made it difficult to dissect the function of its components. In this issue, Hori et al. (2013. J. Cell Biol.

Monopolin subunit Csm1 associates with MIND complex to establish monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores at meiosis I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Sexually reproducing organisms halve their cellular ploidy during gametogenesis by undergoing a specialized form of cell division known as meiosis. During meiosis, a single round of DNA replication is followed by two rounds of nuclear divisions (referred

Balancing the kinetochore ledger [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2012
Reduction of polo-like kinase-1 (Plk1) at kinetochores as cells progress from prometaphase to metaphase is surprising given that the kinase is thought to stabilize kinetochore–microtubule (kt–MT) attachments. In this issue, Liu et al. (2012. J. Cell Biol.
