Kinetochore–microtubule attachment throughout mitosis potentiated by the elongated stalk of the kinetochore kinesin CENP-E

CENP-E kinesin harbors a highly elongated coiled-coil stalk. Using in vitro and in vivo approaches, we characterize a “Bonsai” version of CENP-E with a shortened stalk. We show that the stalk positively regulates CENP-E's motor activity, which is required for maintenance of kinetochore–microtub...
