| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
CENP-C, a component of the constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN), has been shown that it changes its interaction partners in the CCAN between interphase and M-phase. Using chicken DT40 cells, we found that C-terminus of CENP-C is phosphorylated by Cdk1 in M-phase that causes the cell cycle-dependent change in interaction of CENP-C with other centromere factors in CCAN. Further detail analyses suggested that the interaction change is required for cell viability when chromosome segregation is driven by only CENP-C-dependent linkage between centromere and microtubules. These results imply a new regulatory aspect of the kinetochore protein interaction network during cell cycle progression, leading to a model in which cell cycle-dependent interaction changes in the CCAN could play a key role for kinetochore functions.
