This study identifies the structural basis of βKNL2 centromeric targeting and its role in plant-specific kinetochore assembly, showing its dependence on the SANTA domain and interactions with centromeric DNA and KNL2.

The paper shows that CCAN forms a spherical shell-like structure in interphase kinetochores using in silico and in vivo analyses.

This study identifies two recruitment pathways for HJURP to centromeres via CENP-C and Mis18C, essential for CENP-A deposition and centromere maintenance in chicken cells.

The paper investigates the molecular details and phospho-regulation of the CENP-T-Mis12 complex interaction during mitosis in DT40 cells, showing dual phosphorylation ensures robust interaction and proper mitotic progression.
