| Description | Cenp-K is one of seven new Cenp-A-nucleosome distal (CAD) centromere components (the others being Cenp-L, Cenp-O, Cenp-P, Cenp-Q, Cenp-R and Cenp-S) that are identified as assembling on the Cenp-A nucleosome associated complex, NAC []. The Cenp-A NAC is essential, as disruption of the complex causes errors of chromosome alignment and segregation that preclude cell survival despite continued centromere-derived mitotic checkpoint signalling. Cenp-K is centromere-associated through its interaction with one or more components of the Cenp-A NAC. It may be involved in incorporation of newly synthesized Cenp-A into centromeres via its interaction with the Cenp-A-NAC complex [].The homologue in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is known as inner kinetochore subunit sim4 [ , ]. |
