Architecture and Function of Holocentric CENP-A-Independent Kinetochores

Christine Yu, Sundar Ram Sankaranarayanan, Gaetan Cornilleau, Anna C. Howes, Caleigh M. Azumaya, Eric S. Day, Inna Zilberleyb, Bobby Brillantes, Tommy K. Cheung, Léonie Dec, Damarys Loew, Phong Thanh Tran, Christopher M. Rose, Ines Anna Drinnenberg, Claudio Ciferri, Stanislau Yatskevich

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of the holocentric CCAN from Bombyx mori, revealing a self-contained dimer that forms a point-centromere-like architecture and incorporates novel Centromeric Subunit proteins.
