Distinct pools of CENP-A and CENP-C support unique phases of centromere assembly in spermatogenesis

2026-01-07

Abstract excerpt

The centromere is the chromosomal site of kinetochore assembly, defined by the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Each cell cycle, the assembly and maintenance of CENP-A is functionally critical for chromosome segregation. In Drosophila male meiosis, CID (fly CENP-A) is assembled in two phases; prophase of meiosis I and post-meiosis II. Here we investigate the dynamics of the assembly components CAL1 and CENP-C in propha...
