    text
  • localized to kinetochores from late prophase to anaphase
  • localized specifically to the outer plate of the kinetochore
  • basic FUNCTION
  • acting at the centromere to establish a connection with the spindle for proper chromosome segregation
  • required for the spindle checkpoint
  • kinetochore component conserved from yeast to humans, is essential for proper chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis (Wei 2006)
  • required for kinetochore integrity and the organization of stable microtubule binding sites in the outer plate of the kinetochore
  • having a necessary role for correct binding of spindle checkpoint proteins to kinetochore (act independent of each other in kinetochore assembly, but their combined activities are required for checkpoint signaling)
  • kinetochore component conserved from yeast to humans, is essential for proper chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis (Wei 2006)
  • directly connects kinetochores to spindle microtubules (Wilson-Kubalek 2008)
