Deskripsi

Centromeres are a self-propagating chromatin structure that feature nucleosomes containing histone H3 variant CENP-A. Here, the authors screen for factors that play a role in CENP-A chromatin maintenance, finding that SUMO-protease SENP6 controls inheritance of chromatin bound CENP-A and is required for the maintenance of the centromere and kinetochore complex.
