The CENP-A chaperone complex spatially organizes centromeres

Hindol Gupta, Julian Haase, Yicong Wu…·Alexander E. Kelly

The paper shows that the CENP-A chaperone complex forms shell-like structures around centromeres in interphase, essential for centromere architecture and genome stability.

Set mediates chromosome alignment and Cohesin cleavage independently of direct PP2A-B56-binding in oocyte meiosis

Leonor Keating, Arianna Esposito-Verza, Warif El Yakoubi…·Katja Wassmann

This study shows Set is essential for chromosome alignment and Cohesin cleavage in oocyte meiosis, functioning through Aurora B regulation and chromatin environment modulation, independent of PP2A-B56 interaction.
