    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a central role in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation
  • recruiting the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) complex and may be involved in incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA into centromeres
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle, division, mitosis
    nucleotide, genomic integrity
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the CENPA-NAC (nucleosome-associated) complex, at least composed of CENPA, CENPC, CENPH, CENPM, CENPN, CENPT and MLF1IP/CENPU
  • constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) component (Hori 2008)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with the CENPA-CAD complex, composed of CENPI, CENPK, CENPL, CENPO, CENPP, CENPQ, CENPR and CENPS
  • binding selectively CENPA-nucleosomes but not H3-nucleosomes and recruiting other proteins to centromeric chromatin that are required for centromere function and propagation (Carroll 2009)
