A novel epigenetic effect can alter centromere function in fission yeast.

Cell - 2 Dec 1994

Steiner N C, Clarke L

Abstract excerpt

A novel epigenetic mechanism that can affect minichromosome centromere function in vivo has been identified in S. pombe. This epigenetic system can result in the conversion of a nonfunctional centromere to a functional one without changes in the content, structural arrangement, or chemical modification state of the minichromosomal DNA. The conversion from a centromere-inactive to an active state, which is evident...
