basic FUNCTION
| centromere chromatin protein, essential for equal segregation |
|
forms a stable complex with the centromeric heterochromatin components CBX5alpha and CBX5gamma |
|
a four-subunit MIS12 complex plays an essential role in chromosome segregation in vertebrates and contributes to mitotic kinetochore assembly |
|
a balance of MIS12 complex assembly and turnover is potentially required for the efficient and accurate assembly of kinetochore-microtubule binding sites |
|
confers increased microtubule interaction of the complex MIS12/NDC80 |
