In human cells, separation of the centrosomes and formation of a bipolar spindle are essential for correct chromosome segregation [1]. During interphase, centrosomes are joined together by the linker proteins C-Nap1 and rootletin [2-4]. At the onset of mitosis, these linker proteins are phosphorylated and displaced from centrosomes by the Nek2A kinase, which is regulated by two Hippo pathway co...
