Image illustrating how the CENP-A nucleosome complex (gray, purple, blue) with CENP-N (orange) organizes nucleosomes (and thus DNA, blue). This molecular complex is required for kinetochore formation and proper chromosome separation during cell division (mitosis, background). Abnormal cell division is a characteristic of cancer cells.
