What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Data suggest that the binding sites for Cbf1 and CEP3 (CBF3 subunit) are included within the centromeric nucleosome has important implications for models of the centromeric nucleosome and for kinetochore function.
    Title: The centromeric nucleosome of budding yeast is perfectly positioned and covers the entire centromere.
  2. The crystal structure of a large section of the protein Cep3 from CBF3, which is the only component with obvious DNA-binding motifs, was determined.
    Title: Insights into kinetochore-DNA interactions from the structure of Cep3Delta.
  3. the crystal structure, determined at 2.8 A resolution by multiple isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering, of a truncated Cep3p
    Title: Crystal structure of the yeast inner kinetochore subunit Cep3p.
  4. Data show that the amino terminus of Sgt1p interacts with CBF3 subunits Skp1p and Ctf13p.
    Title: The interaction between Sgt1p and Skp1p is regulated by HSP90 chaperones and is required for proper CBF3 assembly.
