Specific localization of the histone H3 variant CENP-A at centromeres is key for faithful chromosome segregation during cell division, with CENP-A mislocalization being associated with chromosomal instability and cancer. New work in identifies the H3-H4 chaperone DNAJC9 as a factor restricting CENP-A localization, underscoring the importance of balancing H3 and CENP-A histone levels for ensuring proper CENP-A localization and maintaining genome stability.
特定组蛋白 H3 变体 CENP-A 在着丝粒处的特异性定位是细胞分裂过程中染色体正确分离的关键,CENP-A 的定位错误与染色体不稳定和癌症有关。在[文献标题]中发现,H3-H4 伴侣蛋白 DNAJC9 是限制 CENP-A 定位的一个因素,这突显了平衡 H3 和 CENP-A 组蛋白水平对于确保正确的 CENP-A 定位和维持基因组稳定性的重要性。
