Chromosome segregation: keeping kinetochores in the loop
Abstract
The Ndc80 complex is a key component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface. Two studies now demonstrate that a conserved loop region within the extended coiled-coil of Ndc80 plays an unexpected role in recruiting proteins to the kinetochore.
