In mitosis, accurate chromosome segregation depends on the kinetochore, a supermolecular machinery that couples dynamic spindle microtubules to centromeric chromatin. However, the structure–activity relationship of the constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) during mitosis remains uncharacterized...
