1. A cellular or in vitro biochemical system comprising:
(a) a polypeptide having at 95% sequence identity to a kinase domain of the wild-type Mps1 (SEQ ID NO:2) linked to a first dimerization element; and
(b) a polypeptide having at 95% sequence identity to a phosphodomain of the wild-type KNL1 (SEQ ID NO:5) linked to a second dimerization element,
wherein the kinase domain is capable of phosphorylating the phosphodomain, and
wherein dimerization of the first dimerization element and second dimerization element facilitates phosphorylation of the KNL1 polypeptide by the Mps1 polypeptide.
