Abstract excerpt
Centromeres form specialized chromatin structures termed kinetochores which are required for accurate segregation of chromosomes. DNA lesions might disrupt protein-DNA interactions, thereby compromising segregation and genome stability. We show that yeast centromeres are heavily resistant to removal of UV-induced DNA lesions by two different repair systems, photolyase and nucleotide excision repair. Repair...
