Centromeric retrotransposons and centromere function
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018The centromeric DNA of most multicellular eukaryotes consists of tandem repeats (TR) that bind centromere-specific proteins and act as a substrate for the efficient repair of frequent double-stranded DNA breaks. Some retrotransposons target active centromeres during integration with such specificity that they can be used to deduce current and historic ...

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 ...

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

Sister chromatid exchange in the centromere and centromeric area
Human Genetics, 1983Central and peripheral sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) were evaluated separately in human phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated lymphocytes after culture for 72 h in 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) containing medium. At the same time, the length of chromosome No.

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 ...

Centromere Protein A Goes Far Beyond the Centromere in Cancers
Molecular Cancer Research, 2022Abstract Centromere dysfunctions leading to numerical chromosome alterations are believed to be closely related to human cancers. As a centromere-specific protein, centromere protein A (CENP-A) replaces the histone H3 in centromeres and is therefore considered a key factor of centromere identity ...

Indirect immunofluorescence of inactive centromeres as indicator of centromeric function
Human Genetics, 1986Two previous single case reports from the literature showed the presence or absence of centromeric antigens at the site of the inactive centromeres in one (X;X) and in one (9;11) dicentric chromosome. We studied nine different dicentric chromosomes using anticentromeric antibodies and immunofluorescence techniques.

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.

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 ...
