Kinetochores assemble on centromeres via histone H3 variant CENP-A and low levels of noncoding centromere transcripts (cenRNAs). The latter are ensured by transcription factor Cbf1 (S. cerevisiae), centromere-binding protein CENP-B (humans), and the local histone code downregulating RNA polymerase I...
