Effects of malleable kinetochore morphology on measurements of intrakinetochore tension
The distance between fluorescent spots formed by various kinetochore proteins (delta) is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of intrakinetochore tension (IKT) caused by microtubule-mediated forces.However, large-scale changes of the kinetochore architecture (such as its shape or dimensions) may also contribute to the nitrile gloves in a bucket
