Chromosome biorientation promotes congression and generates tension that stabilizes kinetochore–microtubule (kt-MT) interactions. Forces produced by molecular motors also contribute to chromosome alignment, but their impact on kt-MT attachment stability is unclear. A critical force acts chromosomes the kinesin-10–dependent polar ejection (PEF). PEFs are proposed facilitate pushing away from spindle poles, although knowledge of mechanisms underpinning PEF generation incomplete. Here, we...
