Evidence of centromeric histone 3 chaperone involved in DNA damage repair pathway

Prakhar Agarwal, Anushka Alekar, Shubhomita Mallick, Kannan Harini, Santanu Kumar Ghosh

This study shows that the CENP-A chaperone Scm3 in budding yeast is involved in DNA damage repair, independent of its role in centromere formation, and its dysfunction leads to DNA damage sensitivity.
