What's a GeneRIF?

Csm1 binds two conserved motifs in Dsn1, one (termed Box 1) representing the ancestral, widely conserved monopolin binding motif and a second (termed Box 2-3) with a likely role in enforcing specificity of sister kinetochore crosslinking. We find that Box 1 and Box 2-3 bind the same conserved hydrophobic cavity on Csm1, suggesting competition or handoff between these motifs. More information in the paper.
Title: The molecular basis of monopolin recruitment to the kinetochore.
We used this assay to investigate why kinetochores recruit the microtubule-binding Ndc80 complex via two receptors: the Mis12 complex and CENP-T. Although the CENP-T pathway is non-essential in yeast, we demonstrate that it becomes essential for viability and Ndc80c recruitment when the Mis12 pathway is crippled by defects in Dsn1 phosphorylation
Title: An assay for de novo kinetochore assembly reveals a key role for the CENP-T pathway in budding yeast.
Altogether, these data indicate that the absence of R37 methylation on Cse4 reduces the recruitment of kinetochore proteins to centromeric chromatin, and that this can be compensated for by stabilizing the outer kinetochore protein Dsn1 via the ubiquitin ligase complex Ubr2/Mub1.
Title: Defects in methylation of arginine 37 on CENP-A/Cse4 are compensated by the ubiquitin ligase complex Ubr2/Mub1.
We found that Aurora B phosphorylation of Dsn1 promotes the interaction between outer and inner kinetochore proteins in budding yeast.
Title: The aurora B kinase promotes inner and outer kinetochore interactions in budding yeast.
Consistent with this, Mub1/Ubr2 help to maintain viability when kinetochores are defective. Together, our data identify a previously unknown regulatory mechanism for the conserved Dsn1 kinetochore protein
Title: The Mub1/Ubr2 ubiquitin ligase complex regulates the conserved Dsn1 kinetochore protein.
