Abstract

Although the budding yeast centromere is extremely short (125bp) compared to those of other eukaryotes, the kinetochore thatassembles on this DNA displays a rich molecular complexity.Here, we describe recent advances in our understanding of kinetochorefunction in budding yeast and present a model describing theattachment that is formed between spindle microtubules and centromericDNA. This analysis may provide general principles for kinetochorefunction and regulation.
