TF family name

Centromere protein B, DNA-binding region

Desription

The centromere is a region of the chromosome essential for its segregation during cell division, and has a special chromatin structure involving ес-satellite DNA repeats and their associated proteins. Among the centromere-specific DNA-binding proteins, CENP-B specifically binds a 17 bp sequence(the CENP-B box), which appears in every other ес-satellite repeat. The CENP-B box sequence positions nucleosomes adjacently, and may therefore function as a cis-element for centromere-specific nucleosome assembly.
