Abstract excerpt
Centromeres are defined by the presence of the histone H3 variant CENP-A in a subset of centromeric nucleosomes. CENP-A deposition to centromeres depends on a specialized loading factor from yeast to humans that is called CAL1 in Drosophila. Here, we show that CAL1 directly interacts with RDX, an adaptor for CUL3-mediated ubiquitylation. However, CAL1 is not a substrate of the CUL3/RDX ligase but functions as an...
