Centromeric chromatin integrity is compromised by loss of Cdk5rap2, a transcriptional activator of CENP-A

Centromeres are chromosomal loci where kinetochores assemble to ensure faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. CENP-A defines the loci by serving as an epigenetic marker that recruits other centromere components for a functional structure. However, the mechanism that controls CENP-A regulati...
