Terminating histone synthesis to preserve centromere integrity
Abstract
Histone protein synthesis is activated as cells enter S phase to allow packaging of the newly replicated DNA into chromatin. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Takayama and coworkers elucidate a mechanism for silencing histone expression at the end of S phase in S. pombe. Failure to shut off histone expression disrupts centromeric chromatin structure.
