Phosphorylation of EB2 by Aurora B and CDK1 ensures mitotic progression and genome stability

Temporal regulation of microtubule dynamics in mitosis can be achieved by phosphorylation of microtubule plus-end proteins. Here, the authors show that Aurora B and CDK1 phosphorylate EB2, which changes microtubule binding affinity and controls kinetochore microtubule dynamics and genome stability.
