Centromeres epitomize the central problem of propagating non-DNA sequence-based information across generations. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Hori et al. (2017) and French et al. (2017) show that the centromere-associated protein KNL-2/M18BP1 reads the centromere epigenetic code to maintain centromere identity.
着丝粒是跨代传播非 DNA 序列信息的核心问题的缩影。在本期《发育细胞》中,Hori 等人(2017 年)和 French 等人(2017 年)表明,与着丝粒相关的蛋白 KNL-2/M18BP1 读取着丝粒的表观遗传密码来维持着丝粒的身份。
