Abstract
Centromeres are chromatin domains maintained by a self-templating feedback loop based on nucleosomes bearing the histone H3 variant CENP-A. The underlying centromeric DNA sequence is largely dispensable, yet paradoxically, it has highly conserved features. Hoffmann et al (2020) now uncover that when the epigenetic chromatin cycle falters, a genetically hardwired mechanism offers robustness to a dynamic epigenetic feedback loop ensuring long-term centromere inheritance.Entities:
