M18BP1 valency and a distributed interaction footprint determine epigenetic centromere specification in humans
Deposition of CENP-A, the histone H3 variant considered an epigenetic landmark of centromeres, reflects cell-cycle-regulated assembly of M18BP1, HJURP, and PLK1 on a divalent MIS18α/β scaffold. The lo...
