Proper chromosome segregation is crucial for cell division. During metaphase, chromosomes are lined up in the metaphase plane and subsequently, in anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward the opposite spindle poles. Errors during segregation lead to, for example, aneuploidy, where daughter cells receive an aberrant number of chromosomes. Each chromatid is captured by spindle microtubules and this interaction is mediated by a structure called the kinetochore. The general architecture of the kinetochore is preserved in eukaryotes. A simple model to study its properties is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where a single copy of the kinetochore is attached to one microtubule, whereas in higher organisms kinetochores have multiple attach...
