Recognising that Astrin can be recruited to kinetochores before biorientation (in monopolar spindles) is highly significant as it supports an inter-kinetochore stretching/tension independent mechanism to rapidly stabilise and maintain end-on attachments as soon as they form.

Kinetochores attached to microtubule-ends are stabilised by Astrin bound PP1 to ensure proper chromosome segregation.
