The molecular basis for centromere identity and function
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2015 The centromere is the region of the chromosome that directs its segregation in mitosis and meiosis. Although the functional importance of the centromere has been appreciated for more than 130 years, elucidating the molecular features and properties that ...

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2017
Plant centromeres, which are determined epigenetically by centromeric histone 3 (CENH3) have revealed surprising structural diversity, ranging from the canonical monocentric seen in vertebrates, to polycentric, and holocentric. Normally stable, centromeres can change position over evolutionary times or upon genomic stress, such as when chromosomes are ...

Epigenetic Control of Centromere Behavior
Annual Review of Genetics, 2007 The centromere is the DNA region that ensures genetic stability and is therefore of vital importance. Paradoxically, centromere proteins and centromeric structural domains are conserved despite that fact that centromere DNA sequences are highly variable ...

Plant centromeres are generally composed of tandem arrays of simple repeats that are typical of a particular species, but that evolve rapidly. Centromere specific retroelements are also present. These arrays associate with a centromere specific variant of histone H3 that anchors the site of the kinetochore.

Trends in Cell Biology, 2000
Centromere formation is a complex process that involves the packaging of DNA into a centromere-unique chromatin, chemical modification and the seeding of kinetochore and associated proteins. The early steps in this process, in which a chromosomal region is marked for centromerization (that is, to become resolutely committed to centromere formation ...

CENP-A Is Dispensable for Mitotic Centromere Function after Initial Centromere/Kinetochore Assembly
Cell Reports, 2016 Human centromeres are defined by chromatin containing the histone H3 variant CENP-A assembled onto repetitive alphoid DNA sequences. By inducing rapid, complete degradation of endogenous CENP-A, we now demonstrate that once the first steps of centromere ...

Silence of the centromeres – not
Trends in Biotechnology, 2004Centromeres are a conundrum; although many proteins associated with centomeres are conserved from yeast to humans, the underlying DNA sequence is not. A proposed solution to this problem is that an epigenetic, largely heterochromatic, state be imposed by these proteins.

Centromere spreading and centromeric aberrations in ovarian tumors
Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics, 1995Centromere spreading (CS) of chromosomes and high occurrence of aberrations at centromeric region were observed in two papillary serous cystadenocarcinomas and one borderline papillary serous cystadenoma of the ovary. In the borderline tumor, CS of chromosome 12, trisomy of which had been reported as the sole abnomaly in benign ovarian tumors, was seen

The Centromere Paradox: Stable Inheritance with Rapidly Evolving DNA
Science, 2001Every eukaryotic chromosome has a centromere, the locus responsible for poleward movement at mitosis and meiosis. Although conventional loci are specified by their DNA sequences, current evidence favors a chromatin-based inheritance mechanism for ...
