Abstract excerpt
CENP-A, a variant of histone H3, is incorporated into centromeric chromatin and plays a role during kinetochore establishment. In fission yeast, the localization of CENP-A is limited to a region spanning 10-20 kb of the core domain of the centromere. Here, we report a mutant (rpt3-1) in which this region is expanded to 40-70 kb. Likely due to abnormal distribution of CENP-A, this mutant exhibits chromosome...
