Abstract excerpt
Dicentric chromosomes undergo a breakage-fusion-bridge cycle as a consequence of having two centromeres on the same chromatid attach to opposite spindle poles in mitosis. Suppression of dicentric chromosome breakage reflects loss of kinetochore function at the kinetochore-microtubule or the kinetochore-DNA interface. Using a conditionally functional dicentric chromosome in vivo, we demonstrate that kinetochore...
