CLIP-170 tethers kinetochores to microtubule plus ends against poleward force by dynein for stable kinetochore-microtubule attachment.
FEBS Letters 2015 September 15
The cytoplasmic linker protein (CLIP)-170 localizes to kinetochores and is suggested to function in stable attachment of kinetochores to microtubule ends. Here we show that defects in kinetochore-microtubule attachment and chromosome alignment in CLIP-170-depleted cells were rescued by co-depletion of p150glued, a dynactin subunit required for kinetochore localization of CLIP-170. CLIP-170 recruited p150glued to microtubule ends. Kinetochore localization at microtubule ends was perturbed by CLIP-170 depletion, which was rescued by co-depleting p150glued. Our results imply that CLIP-170 tethers kinetochores to microtubule ends against the dynein-mediated poleward force to slide kinetochores along microtubules, facilitating the stable kinetochore attachment to microtubules.
