Aurora kinase B, Ipl1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is the master regulator of cell division required for checkpoint regulation, spindle assembly and disassembly, chromosome segregation, and cytokinesis. Decades of research employed ensemble averaging methods to understand its dynamics and function; however, the dynamic information was lost due to population-based averaging. Here, we use single-molecule imaging and tracking (SMIT) to quantify the recruitment dynamics of Ipl1 at the kinetochores and spindles in live cells. Our data suggest that Ipl1 is recruited to these locations with different dynamics. We have demonstrated how the recruitment dynamics of Ipl1 at the kinetochores during metaphase changes in the presence and absence of tension across the kinetochore, in the absence of protein phosphatase 1 (Glc7), and the absence of its known recruiters (Ctf19 and Bub1). The SMIT of other chromosome passenger complex members suggests its hierarchical assembly at the kinetochore. Hence, SMIT provides a dynamic view of the Ipl1 trafficking at the kinetochores and spindles.
