Interacts with Eb1 via the two SxIP motifs; the interaction is not required for kebab kinetochore localization. During metaphase expressed in the kinetochores. During anaphase expression in the kinetochores progressively increases, and at late anaphase it is also expressed in the microtubules, specifically in the central spindle and centrosomal region. During telophase expression increases in the microtubules, and it is associated with residual spindle microtubules between chromosomes that have separated. At interphase it is expressed in the cytoplasm particularly around the nucleus. No visible phenotype. Flies are viable and fertile. RNAi-mediated knockdown does not affect mitotic progression.
