All of the choices have been implicated as possible linkers of a kinetochore to dynamic microtubules. Motor proteins, such as dynein, can move along microtubules and help align the chromosomes during mitosis. Ndc80 is a rod-shaped protein that forms a complex with other proteins at the kinetochore, facilitating the attachment to microtubules. CENP-E is a kinesin motor protein that also plays a role in chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis. Dam-1 is a protein complex found in some eukaryotes that forms a ring around the microtubule and helps stabilize the connection between the kinetochore and microtubule.
