Kinetochores link centromeric DNA to spindle microtubules and ensure faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. In point-centromere yeasts, the CBF3 complex Skp1-Ctf13-(Cep3)(2)-(Ndc10)recognizes a conserved centromeric DNA element through contacts made by Cep3 and Ndc10. This entry represents the N-terminal domain of Ndc10.
Centromere DNA-binding protein complex CBF3 subunit, domain 2
NDC10_II is a the second of five domains on the Kluyveromyces lactis Ndc10 protein. Each subunit of the Ndc10 dimer binds a separate fragment of DNA, suggesting that Ndc10 stabilises a DNA loop at the centromere [1].
