PMID: 39551802
Overexpression of mitotic arrest deficiency 2 (MAD2/MAD2L1), a pivotal component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), resulted in many types of cancer. Here we show that the depletion of tumor...

PMID: 37243594
The centromere is essential for ensuring high-fidelity transmission of chromosomes. CENP-A, the centromeric histone H3 variant, is thought to be the epigenetic mark of centromere identity. CENP-A deposition at the...

PMID: 32597847
Studying the structure and the dynamics of kinetochores and centromeres is important in understanding chromosomal instability (CIN) and cancer progression. How the chromosomal location and function of a centromere (i.e.,...

PMID: 31550462
CENP-A is a centromere-specific histone H3 variant that epigenetically determines centromere identity, but how CENP-A is deposited at the centromere remains obscure. We previously reported that CENP-A K124 ubiquitylation, mediated...

Molecules
. 2019 Jan;

PMID: 30678315
The centromere plays an essential role in accurate chromosome segregation, and the chromosomal location of the centromere is determined by the presence of a histone H3 variant, centromere protein A...

Cell Cycle
. 2017 Aug;
16(18):1683-1694.
PMID: 28816574
The centromere plays an essential role in accurate chromosome segregation, and defects in its function lead to aneuploidy and thus cancer. The centromere-specific histone H3 variant CENP-A is proposed to...

PMID: 27652331
CENP-A (Centromere protein A) is a histone H3 variant that epigenetically determines the centromere position, but the mechanism of its centromere inheritance is obscure. We propose that CENP-A ubiquitylation, which...

. 2016 Apr;
15(1):61-76.
PMID: 27052173
The presence of chromatin containing the histone H3 variant CENP-A dictates the location of the centromere in a DNA sequence-independent manner. But the mechanism by which centromere inheritance occurs is...
