The centromere protein C (CENP-C) plays an important mechanical role in the assembly of the kinetochore a protein structure on chromosomes. Alternative names for this protein include MCM21R and Centromere protein C 1. CENP-C acts as a structural platform bringing together specific components needed for chromosome segregation during cell division. Its mass is approximately 140 kDa. CENP-C is expressed in a broad range of cell types especially in dividing cells or tissues with high turnover rates.
Biological function summary
This protein is essential for the proper attachment of chromosomes to spindle microtubules. CENP-C interacts as a core component of the larger constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) complex. This complex contributes to the stability and function of the centromere. Additionally centromeres require CENP-C for correct kinetochore assembly ensuring accurate chromosome alignment and separation during mitosis and meiosis.
Pathways
CENP-C contributes to the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint and the cell cycle pathway. The interaction with other centromere proteins such as CENP-A CENP-B and CENP-H is significant for proper centromere structure and kinetochore attachment. By doing so these interactions facilitate the checkpoint pathways that prevent premature progression into anaphase until all chromosomes are properly aligned.
Alterations in CENP-C levels or functions associate with cancers and chromosomal instability syndromes. In cancer abnormal CENP-C expression can lead to errors in chromosome segregation contributing to aneuploidy. CENP-C's relationship with proteins like CENP-A emphasizes its role in maintaining chromosomal stability linking it to malignancies where such stability is compromised.
