Kinetochore structure: pulling answers from yeast

Curr Biol. 2012 Oct 9;22(19):R842-4. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2012.08.001.

Abstract

Despite the identification of multiple kinetochore proteins, their structure and organization has remained unclear. New work uses electron microscopy to visualize isolated budding yeast kinetochore particles and reveal the kinetochore structure on microtubules.
