α-amino trimethylation of CENP-A by NRMT is required for full recruitment of the centromere

Centromeres are chromosomal domains epigenetically specified by the presence of the CENP-A containing nucleosomes that control chromosome segregation. Here the authors show that α-amino trimethylation of CENP-A by the enzyme NRMT is required for centromere function, faithful chromosome segregation a...
