Abstract
Chromosome segregation in mitosis is orchestrated by the dynamic interactions between the kinetochore and spindle microtubules. Our recent study shows that mitotic motor CENP-E cooperates with SKAP to orchestrate an accurate chromosome movement in mitosis. However, it remains elusive how kinetochore core microtubule binding activity KMN (KNL1-MIS12-NDC80) regulates microtubule plus-end dynamics. Here, we identify a novel interaction between MIS13 and SKAP that orchestrates accurate interaction between kinetochore and dynamic spindle microtubules. SKAP physically interacts with MIS13 and specifies kinetochore localization of SKAP. Suppression of MIS13 by small interfering RNA abrogates the kinetochore localization of SKAP. Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopic assays demonstrate that SKAP exhibits an EB1-dependent, microtubule plus-end loading and tracking in vitro. Importantly, SKAP is essential for kinetochore oscillations and dynamics of microtubule plus-ends during live cell mitosis. Based on those findings, we reason that SKAP constitutes a dynamic link between spindle microtubule plus-ends and mitotic chromosomes to achieve faithful cell division.Entities:
