Significance Kinetochores are large protein networks located on centromeres that mediate chromosome segregation during mitosis and maintain genomic stability. Mis12 complex (Mis12C) functions as a scaffold that targets Ndc80 and Knl1 complexes to the centromere by associating with CENP-C. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the CENP-C–dependent kinetochore recruitment of Mis12C, which is negatively regulated by Aurora B-dependent CENP-C phosphorylation. Replacement of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cnp3 with a phosphorylation-mimicking mutant, Cnp3T28E, results in defective chromosome segregation caused by improper kinetochore assembly. These findings indicate that Aurora B-dependent phosphorylation of CENP-C plays a role in interrupting the connection between the inner and outer kinetochore and is thus involved in the error correction/spindle assembly checkpoint pathway to prevent chromosome missegregation during mitosis. Kinetochores are superprotein complexes that orchestrate chromosome segregation via a dynamic interaction with spindle microtubules. A physical connection between CENP-C and the Mis12–Ndc80–Knl1 (KMN) protein network is an important pathway that is used to assemble kinetochores on CENP-A nucleosomes. Multiple outer kinetochore components are phosphorylated by Aurora B kinase to activate the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) and to ensure accurate chromosome segregation. However, it is unknown whether Aurora B can phosphorylate inner kinetochore components to facilitate proper mitotic chromosome segregation. Here, we reported the structure of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mis12–Nnf1 complex and showed that N-terminal residues 26–50 in Cnp3 (the CENP-C homolog of S. pombe) are responsible for interacting with the Mis12 complex. Interestingly, Thr28 of Cnp3 is a substrate of Ark1 (the Aurora B homolog of S. pombe), and phosphorylation impairs the interaction between the Cnp3 and Mis12 complex. The expression of a phosphorylation-mimicking Cnp3 mutant results in defective chromosome segregation due to improper kinetochore assembly. These results establish a previously uncharacterized regulatory mechanism involved in CENP-C–Mis12-facilitated kinetochore attachment error correction to ensure accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis.
