Spc105/Kre28 promotes mitotic error correction by outer kinetochore recruitment of Ipl1/Sli15

ABSTRACT: Kinetochores link chromosomes to dynamic microtubules of the mitotic spindle. To ensure equal chromosome segregation, sister chromatids must achieve biorientation. The conserved kinase Aurora B phosphorylates outer kinetochore proteins on attachments lacking tension, allowing re-establishment of new connections until biorientation is achieved. Aurora B localizes to the centromere as part of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), but the underlying recruitment pathways can be eliminated without disrupting biorientation. It therefore remains unclear how the kinase operates during error correction. Here, we identify the conserved Spc105/Kre28 complex as an outer kinetochore receptor of the Aurora kinase Ipl1 and its activator Sli15 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that mutations in the
