CELL CYCLE

CENP-T bears the load in mitosis

Nature Cell Biology volume 20, pages 1335–1337 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

During mitosis, the kinetochore connects chromosomes to spindle microtubules and enables chromosome segregation. A genetic study in vertebrate cells demonstrates phosphorylation-regulated plasticity of kinetochore assembly and highlights the role of the centromere protein T in load-bearing kinetochore–microtubule attachment.
