Abstract excerpt
The Cse4 nucleosome at each budding yeast centromere must be faithfully assembled each cell cycle to specify the site of kinetochore assembly and microtubule attachment for chromosome segregation. Although Scm3 is required for the localization of the centromeric H3 histone variant Cse4 to centromeres, its role in nucleosome assembly has not been tested. We demonstrate that Scm3 is able to mediate the assembly of...
