Abstract

Caenorhabditis elegans builds centromeres using the histone H3 variant CENP-A but lacks a CENP-A-specific chaperone. This article shows that the extended N-terminal tail of C. elegans CENP-A, which interacts with the conserved loading factor KNL-2 and is essential for loading, provides at least part of the function of the dedicated chaperone.
