Abstract

In this issue of Developmental Cell, Yu et al. (2015) demonstrate that CENP-A phosphorylation by CDK1 inhibits its association with the chaperone protein HJURP and that the removal of this modification at mitotic exit is a key regulatory event that controls the timing of new CENP-A nucleosome formation at centromeres., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Nucleosomes with histone H3 replaced by CENP-A direct kinetochore assembly. CENP-A nucleosomes from human and Drosophila have been reported to have reduced heights as compared to canonical octameric H3 nucleosomes, thus suggesting a unique tetrameric hemisomal composition. We demonstrate that octameric CENP-A nucleosomes assembled in vitro exhibit reduced heights, indicating that they are physically distinct from H3 nucleosomes and negating the need to invoke the presence of hemisomes.
