Kinetochores attached to microtubule-ends are stabilised by Astrin bound PP1 to ensure proper chromosome segregation
In the absence of Astrin:PP1 interaction, kinetochores can not withstand microtubule-mediated pulling forces, which activates the spindle checkpoint and delays anaphase onset. These attachment defects ...
