Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25596274}. Note=Detected on centrosomes and kinetochores during interphase and mitosis independently from TACC3 and clathrin. Located to spindle poles and microtubules during mitosis. In complex with TACC3 localized to microtubule plus-ends in mitosis and interphase. In complex with TACC3 and clathrin localized to inter-microtubule bridges in mitotic spindles. Accumulation sites at microtubule plus ends protruded approximately 100 nm from MAPRE1/EB1 sites in interphase cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21646404, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23251535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25596274}.
