Centromere proteins and chromosome inheritance: a complex affair
K W Dobie et al. Curr Opin Genet Dev. 1999 Apr.
Abstract
Centromeres and the associated kinetochores are involved in essential aspects of chromosome transmission. Recent advances have included the identification and understanding of proteins that have a pivotal role in centromere structure, kinetochore formation, and the coordination of chromosome inheritance with the cell cycle in several organisms. A picture is beginning to emerge of the centromere-kinetechore as a complex and dynamic structure with conservation of function at the protein level across diverse species.
