Abstract
The major role of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) is to generate mRNAs. I recently uncovered a novel function of RNAP II in chromosome segregation in mitosis, installing the cohesin protector, Shugoshin, at centromeres. Here I will discuss the current understanding of RNAP II-dependent centromeric transcription in mitosis.Keywords: Bub1; RNA polymerase II; Sgo1; centromere; centromeric cohesion; kinetochore; mitosis; transcription
