Lineage-specific adaptive evolution of the centromeric protein CENH3 in diploid and allotetraploid Oryza species.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 2009

Hirsch Cory D, Wu Yufeng, Yan Huihuang, Jiang Jiming

Abstract excerpt

Centromeres in eukaryotic species are defined by the presence of a centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENH3. CENH3 plays a key role in recruiting other centromeric proteins; thus, it is the central component in kinetochore formation and centromere function. The CENH3 proteins in several plant and animal species were found to be under positive selection, which was hypothesized to respond to the rapid changing...
