Facts about Centromere-associated protein E.
The transportation of pole-proximal chromosomes towards the spindle equator is preferred by microtubule tracks which are detyrosinated (PubMed:25908662). Acts as a processive bi-directional tracker of dynamic microtubule tips; following chromosomes have congressed, continues to play an active role in kinetochores, enhancing their connections with dynamic microtubule ends (PubMed:23955301).

Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Chromosome, centromere. Associates with kinetochores during congression (as early as prometaphase), relocates to the spindle midzone at anaphase, and is quantitatively discarded at the end of the cell division (By similarity). Recruited to the kinetochore in a SEPT7, CENPQ and TRAPPC12-dependent manner (PubMed:18460473, PubMed:25918224, PubMed:25395579). Recruited to the pericentromeric/centromeric regions of the chromosome in a CTCF-dependent manner (PubMed:26321640).
