    Summary
    Enables CENP-A containing nucleosome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; kinetochore assembly; and negative regulation of ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in condensed chromosome, centromeric region. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Cse4 and H3 are structurally compatible to be incorporated in the same nucleosome to form heterotypic particles during Scm3-mediated nucleosome assembly.
      Title: Scm3 deposits a (Cse4-H4)2 tetramer onto DNA through a Cse4-H4 dimer intermediate.
    2. Scm3 becomes 2.5-fold enriched at kinetochores in anaphase after incorporation of Ces4 and then dissociated from kinetochores with mitotic exit.
      Title: The CENP-A chaperone Scm3 becomes enriched at kinetochores in anaphase independently of CENP-A incorporation.
    3. stringent regulation of HJURP and SCM3 expression are critical for genome stability.
      Title: Misregulation of Scm3p/HJURP causes chromosome instability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells.
    4. Scm3 functions as a Cse4-specific nucleosome assembly factor, and the resulting octameric nucleosomes do not contain Scm3 as a stably bound component.

    • Non-histone component of centromeric chromatin; acts as a Cse4p specific chaperone that recognizes the centromere-targeting domain in the HFD of histone H3 variant, Cse4p, and recruits it to centromeres; involved in the assembly and maintenance of Cse4-H4 at centromeres; required for kinetochore assembly and G2/M progression; may protect Cse4p from ubiquitination; homolog of mammalian HJURP
