ectopic CENP-A containing chromatin assembly ectopic CENP-A containing chromatin assembly at pericentromeric heterochromatin 2023-01-25T12:21:59Z ectopic CENP-A containing nucleosome assembly at pericentromeric heterochromatin CENP-A containing nucleosome speading into pericentromeric heterochromatin A cellular process phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin containing the histone H3 variant CenH3 (also called CENP-A; Cnp1 in S. pombe) are assembled in the pericentromeric heterochromatin. CENP-A-containing nucleosomes are normally assembled into chromatin at the centromeres, encompassing the central core and centromeric inner repeat regions. vw
