knl-3 encodes a novel protein; KNL-3 activity is essential for formation of a functional kinetochore and thus, for proper chromosome segregation and spindle pole separation; KNL-3 localizes to kinetochores throughout mitosis and this localization requires the activity of HCP-4 (CENP-C), a conserved kinetochore component that likely directs kinetochore assembly; KNL-3 copurifies with a group of 10 closely interacting kinetochore proteins that includes KNL-1, NDC-80, MIS-12, HIM-10, and KBP-1, -2, -3, -4, and-5; KNL-3 also copurifies with HCP-4(CENP-C).
