SEQUENCE OF CENTROMERE SEPARATION: ROLE OF CENTROMERIC HETEROCHROMATIN [PDF]
ABSTRACT The late metaphase-early anaphase cells from various tissues of male Mus musculus, M. poschiavinus, M. spretus, M. castaneus, female and male Bos taurus (cattle) and female Myopus schisticolor (wood lemming) were analyzed for centromeres that showed separation into two daughter centromeres and those that did not show such ...

Centromere-localized Aurora B kinase is required for the fidelity of chromosome segregation
Aurora B localizes to centromeres, but it is unclear if this influences chromosome segregation in mitosis. Liang et al. find that two phospho-histone marks separately recruit Aurora B to centromeres and act redundantly for faithful chromosome segregation.

Objective Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon because of the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Holocentric Chromosomes Probably Do Not Prevent Centromere Drive in Cyperaceae
Centromere drive model describes an evolutionary process initiated by centromeric repeats expansion, which leads to the recruitment of excess kinetochore proteins and consequent preferential segregation of an expanded centromere to the egg during female ...

Step-wise assembly, maturation and dynamic behavior of the human CENP-P/O/R/Q/U kinetochore sub-complex [PDF]
Kinetochores are multi-protein megadalton assemblies that are required for attachment of microtubules to centromeres and, in turn, the segregation of chromosomes in mitosis. Kinetochore assembly is a cell cycle regulated multi-step process.

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the differences in demographic, serologic, and clinical characteristics between male and female patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in an Australian cohort. Methods This was a retrospective observational study using data from the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study.

Structure and evolution of metapolycentromeres
Metapolycentromeres consist of multiple sequential domains of centromeric chromatin associated with a centromere-specific variant of histone H3 (CENP-A), functioning collectively as a single centromere.

Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a histone H3 variant that defines centromeric chromatin and is essential for centromere function. In most eukaryotes, CENP-A-containing chromatin is epigenetically maintained, and centromere identity is inherited from one

Centromere repositioning causes inversion of meiosis and generates a reproductive barrier
Significance Mutations in inner kinetochore components induce centromere repositioning without alteration in the centromeric DNA sequence, revealing a feedback mechanism underlying the high epigenetic stability of the centromere.

Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK) : a potential cancer drug target
The inability to faithfully segregate chromosomes in mitosis results in chromosome instability, a hallmark of solid tumors. Disruption of microtubule dynamics contributes highly to mitotic chromosome instability.
