Gametic specialization of centromeric histone paralogs in <i>Drosophila virilis</i>

2019-01-25

Abstract excerpt

In most eukaryotes, centromeric histone (CenH3) proteins mediate the highly conserved process of chromosome segregation as the foundational kinetochore assembly factor. However, in multicellular organisms, CenH3 proteins have to perform their essential functions in different chromatin environments. CenH3 proteins not only mediate mitosis and meiosis but also ensure epigenetic inheritance of centromere identity on...
