Abstract excerpt
CENP-C is an evolutionarily conserved centromere protein that is thought to be an important component in kinetochore assembly in vertebrate cells. However, the functional role of CENP-C in cell cycle progression remains unclear. To further understand CENP-C function, we developed a method incorporating the hyper-recombinogenic chicken B lymphocyte cell line DT40 to create several temperature-sensitive CENP-C...
