hcp-1 encodes a homolog of the mammalian centromere protein-F (CENP-F) and is involved in mitotic chromosome segregation; hcp-1 functions in an ordered pathway consisting of two other CENP proteins encoded by hcp-3 and hcp-4 to control assembly of the kinetochore; hcp-1 localization to the kinetochore is dependent on hcp-3 and hcp-4.
Involved in chromosome segregation; organelle organization; and protein localization. Located in kinetochore; nucleus; and spindle. Expressed in AB and Psub1.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
