Identification of Genes Encoding CENP-A and Heterochromatin Protein 1 of <i>Lipomyces starkeyi</i> and Functional Analysis Using <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</i>

Centromeres function as a platform for the assembly of multiple kinetochore proteins and are essential for chromosome segregation. An active centromere is characterized by the presence of a centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENP-A. Faithful centromeric localization of CENP-A is supported by he...
