| Research Abstract |
We have screened meiosis specific centromere factors from mouse germ cells using affinity purification and yeast two hybrid techniques. We identified novel kinetochore/chromosome proteins which are specifically expressed in germ cells. Those factors may play a role in changing kinetochore structure for faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis I where a pair of sister kinetochores are in close proximity for monopolar spindle-microtuble attachment.
