Short Name | CENP-C_mid |
description | CENP-C is a component of the centromere assembly complex in eukaryotes. CENP-C recruits the DNA methyltransferases DNMT3B, in order to establish the necessary epigenetic DNA-methylation essential for maintenance of chromatin structure and genomic stability. This entry represents the middle DNMT3B binding region of CENP-C. Binding of CENP-C and DNMT3B to DNA occurs at both centromeric and peri-centromeric satellite repeats. CENP-C and DNMT3B regulate the histone code in these regions [, , ]. |
