| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation begins in S phase of the cell cycle and peaks in mitosis. Phosphorylated by NEK2. Also phosphorylated by AURKA and AURKB. Acetylated at Lys-53 and Lys-59 by KAT5 during mitosis, promoting robust kinetochore-microtubule attachment. Deacetylated by SIRT1. |
| Function | Acts as a component of the essential kinetochore-associated NDC80 complex, which is required for chromosome segregation and spindle checkpoint activity. Required for kinetochore integrity and the organization of stable microtubule binding sites in the outer plate of the kinetochore. The NDC80 complex synergistically enhances the affinity of the SKA1 complex for microtubules and may allow the NDC80 complex to track depolymerizing microtubules. Plays a role in chromosome congression and is essential for the end-on attachment of the kinetochores to spindle microtubules. |
