Yra2 regulates proteolysis of Cse4 to prevent its mislocalization to non-centromeric regions for chromosomal stability in budding yeast
Restricting the localization of centromere-specific histone H3 variant Cse4 (CENP-A in humans) to centromeric chromatin is essential for chromosome segregation. Mislocalization of overexpressed Cse4/CENP-A to non-centromeric regions contributes to chromosomal instability (CIN) in model organisms and human cells. CIN is an important hallmark of many cancers and hence defining mechanisms that…
