Mis18-binding protein 1 is a component of the Mis18 complex (Mis18α, Mis18β, and M18BP1/KNL2) that plays a role in mediating cell cycle- dependent deposition/incorporation of the histone H3 variant CENP-A at the centromeres. CENP-A incorporation is carried out by at least two sets of events, the Mis18 complex must first localize to centromeres at the onset of anaphase, HJURP-mediated CENP-A deposition then occurs during G1. Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is shown to phosphorylate M18BP1 on Thr702 and plays an important role in promoting Mis18 complex centromere localization.
