A chirality change in XPC- and Sfi1-derived peptides affects their affinity for centrin

Centrins are small Ca2+-binding proteins that bind several cellular targets: XPC, Sfi1, Sac3, and transducin β. Thus, centrins are involved in several cellular processes, including centrosome division (Sfi1 protein), DNA repair (the recognition of UV-induced damage by

New insights into the interaction of centrin with Sfi1

The Sfi1 protein is localized to the centrosome that is also called the spindle pole body in yeast. Thus, Sfi1 is involved in the centrosome behaviour. As a consequence of the DNA replication, the centrosome is also
