T time for point centromeres

Karen E Gascoigne et al. Nat Cell Biol. .

Abstract

The diverse nature of eukaryotic centromere structure has led to a prevailing view that the kinetochore-chromatin interface is fundamentally different in distinct species. Two studies now challenge this dogma with the identification of budding yeast homologues of the vertebrate centromere DNA-binding proteins CENP-T and CENP-W.
