Summary: The centromere is a specialized chromatin domain, present throughout the cell cycle, that acts as a platform on which the transient assembly of the kinetochore occurs during mitosis. All active centromeres are characterized by the presence of long arrays of nucleosomes in which CENPA (MIM 117139) replaces histone H3 (see MIM 601128). CENPT is an additional factor required for centromere assembly (Foltz et al., 2006 [PubMed 16622419]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

these data define a novel molecular mechanism underlying the assembly of CENP-T onto the centromere by a temporally regulated HJURP-CENP-T interaction.
Title: Holliday junction recognition protein interacts with and specifies the centromeric assembly of CENP-T.
Levels of centromere aberrations increase upon depletion of CENP-A, CENP-C, and CENP-T/W, during replicative senescence, and in cancer cells.
Title: Integrity of the human centromere DNA repeats is protected by CENP-A, CENP-C, and CENP-T.
report a novel disease gene encoding the constitutive inner kinetochore member CENPT, which is involved in kinetochore targeting and assembly, resulting in severe growth failure in two siblings of a consanguineous family
Title: A defect in the inner kinetochore protein CENPT causes a new syndrome of severe growth failure.
Upon cross-linking, the entire CENPA/CENPB/CENPC/CENPT complex is nuclease-protected over an alpha-satellite dimer that comprises the fundamental unit of centromeric chromatin. We conclude that CENPA/CENPC and CENPT pathways for kinetochore assembly are physically integrated over young alpha-satellite dimers.
Title: CENPT bridges adjacent CENPA nucleosomes on young human α-satellite dimers.
Whereas CENP-C recruits a single MIS12:NDC80 complex, the authors show here that CENP-T binds one MIS12:NDC80 and two NDC80 complexes upon phosphorylation by the mitotic CDK1:Cyclin B complex at three distinct CENP-T sites.
Title: Molecular basis of outer kinetochore assembly on CENP-T.
FACT chaperone stabilizes the soluble CENP-T/-W complex in the cell and promotes dynamics of exchange, enabling CENP-T/-W deposition at centromeres.
Title: The CENP-T/-W complex is a binding partner of the histone chaperone FACT.
We used a synthetic system to dissect how CenH3(CENP-A) contributes to the accumulation of CENP-C and CENP-T, two key components that are necessary for the formation of functional kinetochores
Title: HJURP involvement in de novo CenH3(CENP-A) and CENP-C recruitment.
CENP-T directly interacts with Ndc80, which in turn promotes KNL1/Mis12 complex recruitment at kinetochores during chromosome segregation.
Title: Distinct organization and regulation of the outer kinetochore KMN network downstream of CENP-C and CENP-T.
CSN5 regulates the stability of the inner kinetochore components CENP-T and CENP-W, providing the first direct link between CSN5 and the mitotic apparatus, highlighting the role of CSN5 as a multifunctional cell cycle regulator.
Title: CSN5/JAB1 interacts with the centromeric components CENP-T and CENP-W and regulates their proteasome-mediated degradation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
