Cloning and characterization of centromeric DNA from Neurospora crassa
M Centola et al. Mol Cell Biol. 1994 Feb.
Abstract
The centromere locus from linkage group VII of Neurospora crassa has been cloned, characterized, and physically mapped. The centromeric DNA is contained within a 450-kb region that is recombination deficient, A+T-rich, and contains repetitive sequences. Repetitive sequences from within this region hybridize to a family of repeats located at or near centromeres in all seven linkage groups of N. crassa. Genomic Southern blots and sequence analysis of these repeats revealed a unique centromere structure containing a divergent family of centromere-specific repeats. The predominantly transitional differences between copies of the centromere-specific sequence repeats and their high A+T content suggest that their divergence was mediated by repeat-induced point (RIP) mutations.
