Chromosome, centromere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19620631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24522885}. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19620631}. Note=Assembly of CENPS and CENPX and its partner subunits CENPT and CENPW at centromeres occurs through a dynamic exchange mechanism. Although exchange is continuous in the cell cycle, de novo assembly starts principally during mid-late S phase and is complete by G2. CENPS is more stably bound at the kinetochore than CENPX (PubMed:19620631, PubMed:24522885). During S phase, rapidly recruited to DNA interstrand cross-links that block replication (PubMed:20347428). Recruited to DNA damage sites about 20 minutes following UV irradiation, reaching a plateau after approximately 40 minutes (PubMed:24522885). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19620631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20347428, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24522885}.
