CSE4

CSL2, centromeric DNA-binding histone H3-like protein CSE4, L000002719, YKL049C
Centromere protein that resembles histone H3; associated with promoters, accessible chromatin and RNA polymerase II-bound regions; phosphorylated Cse4p associates with centromeres; required for proper kinetochore function; levels regulated by E3 ubiquitin ligase Psh1p; phosphorylation of Cse4p may destabilize defective kinetochores to promote bi-orientation; ubiquitination of N terminus regulates Cse4p proteolysis for faithful chromosome segregation; human CENP-A homolog
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

CIN8

KSL2, SDS15, kinesin motor protein CIN8, L000000340, YEL061C
Kinesin motor protein; involved in mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Methylation of CenH3 arginine 37 regulates kinetochore integrity and chromosome segregation.

Samel A, Cuomo A, Bonaldi T, Ehrenhofer-Murray AE

Centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes mark the site for kinetochore formation and microtubule attachment and are essential for accurate chromosome segregation. Although centromere identity is defined by the presence of the histone H3 variant CenH3/centromere protein A (CENP-A), little is known about how epigenetic modifications on CenH3 might regulate kinetochore assembly and centromere function. Here we show that CENP-A from Saccharomyces ... [more]
