RESUMO
The conserved kinetochore protein CENP-C plays a fundamental role in chromosome segregation, but its specific functions remain elusive. We have gained insights into the role of CENP-C through identification of interacting effector proteins required for kinetochore function in fission yeast. Fta1/CENP-L is a primary effector that associates directly with Cnp3/CENP-C, and ectopic localization of Fta1 largely suppresses the mitotic kinetochore defects of cnp3Delta cells. Pcs1 functions downstream of Cnp3 to prevent merotelic attachment. In meiosis, Cnp3 further associates with and recruits Moa1, a meiosis-specific protein exclusively required for the mono-orientation of kinetochores. Genetic and biochemical analyses identified Cnp3 mutants that preserve intact mitotic kinetochore function but abolish the association with Moa1 and meiotic mono-orientation. Overall, therefore, our studies identify effectors of CENP-C in mitosis and meiosis and establish the concept that CENP-C serves as a scaffold for the specific recruitment of essential kinetochore proteins.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of complex Hongyibuxue oral solution in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). METHODS: One hundred patients of IDA were randomly divided into test group or control group (50 cases each). Patients in the test group took complex Hongyibuxue oral solution and those in the control group took ferrous sulfate in a treatment course of 4 weeks. RESULTS: Hemoglobin, serum iron and serum ferritin in the test group rose faster than those in control group (P<0.05). The improvement of the anemic symptoms and tolerance of patients to complex Hongyibuxue oral solution in the test group were much better than ferrous sulfate. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of and tolerance of patients to complex Hongyibuxue oral solution are better than ferrous sulfate in the treatment of IDA.
