Independence of centromeric and pericentromeric chromatin stability on CCAN components

Ronald J. Biggs, Mingxuan Sun, Kousik Sundararajan…·John F. Marko

This study shows that centromeric chromatin is mechanically resilient and distinct from pericentromeric chromatin, which deforms under force, with CCAN components not affecting pericentromere stretching.

Condensin controls mitotic chromosome stiffness and stability without forming a structurally contiguous scaffold

Mingxuan Sun, Ronald Biggs, Jessica Hornick, John F. Marko

This study shows condensin controls mitotic chromosome stiffness and stability by forming isolated compaction centers rather than a continuous scaffold.
