Dynamic cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation modulates CENP-L-CENP-N centromere recruitment.

ABSTRACT: The kinetochore is a macromolecular structure that is needed to ensure proper chromosome segregation during each cellular division. The kinetochore is assembled upon a platform of the 16-subunit constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN), which is present at centromeres throughout the cell cycle. The nature and regulation of CCAN assembly, interactions, and dynamics needed to facilitate changing centromere properties and requirements remain to be fully elucidated. The CENP-LN complex is a CCAN component that displays unique cell cycle-dependent localization behavior, peaking in the S phase. Here, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of CENP-L and CENP-N controls CENP-LN complex formation and localization in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Mimicking constitutive phosphorylation of eith
