Note=Associates with chromosomes at all stage of mitosis (PubMed:11736643, PubMed:15297875, PubMed:15625105). Chromatin localization is dependent on iron-sulfur cluster binding (PubMed:29848660). In anaphase, associates with the mitotic spindle midzone (PubMed:15297875). In telophase and cytokinesis, co-localizes with CIAO2B at the spindle midzone and midbody (PubMed:29848660, PubMed:15297875). Co-localizes with PRC1 in early mitosis and at the spindle midzone from anaphase B to telophase (PubMed:15297875, PubMed:15625105). Does not localize to the nucleolus (PubMed:11736643). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11736643, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15297875, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15625105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29848660}.
