Error correction is the process by which improper kinetochore-microtubule (kt-MT) attachments are destabilized so that the cell can take another whack at getting things right before anaphase. Getting things right refers to a specific geometric configuration called biorientation in which sister kinetochores attach to dynamic microtubules (MTs) from opposite spindle poles. Every replicated chromosome must biorient to best ensure equal transmission of the genome. However, biorientation is not inherent as erroneous kt-MT attachments form frequently and must be resolved to avoid aneuploidy.The canonical error correction pathway is mediated by the centromere-enriched aurora B kinase (ABK), which reduces the affinity of mal-oriented kinetochores for MTs by phosphorylating attachment factors such as Ndc80/HEC1. The application of opposing forces to bioriented kinetochores generates tension that stabilizes kt-MT attachments, 1 in part, by counteracting the attachment destabilizing activity of ABK. While the exact mechanism by which tension opposes ABK activity has not been entirely resolved, one major hypothesis called the spatial positioning model posits that tension-dependent structural changes in the kinetochore reposition attachment factors further from ABK, decreasing their likelihood of being phosphorylated and; therefore, increasing their affinity for MTs. It has long been known that error correction often occurs near spindle poles, 2 but it was unclear if the polar environment somehow contributed to error correction
