Abstract

Background: The incorporation of CENP-A at centromeres is important for chromosome segregation during mitosis.

Results: And-1 together with HJURP regulates the assembly of new CENP-A onto centromeres.

Conclusion: And-1 facilitates the recruitment of CENP-A to centromeres.

Significance: These studies reveal a novel role of And-1 in the regulation of chromosome congression during mitosis.
