The Kinetochore Links Chromatids to Microtubules for Separation
Microtubule-chromatid assembly detailing the composition of the inner kinetochore showing the specific CCAN proteins and their respective yeast homologues.
The kinetochore links microtubules and centromeric chromatin to segregate the chromatids to opposite poles during cell division.
The inner kinetochore is comprised of the constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) . [1, 2]
