A loss of the cut8(+) gene encoding an anchor of the proteasome to the nuclear membrane causes disruption in CENP-A distribution.
Title: The 19S proteasome subunit Rpt3 regulates distribution of CENP-A by associating with centromeric chromatin.

Cut8 contains a unique, modular fold composed of an extended N-terminal, lysine-rich segment that when ubiquitinated binds the proteasome, a dimer domain followed by a six-helix bundle connected to a flexible C tail.
Title: Implications for proteasome nuclear localization revealed by the structure of the nuclear proteasome tether protein Cut8.

Cut8 is required for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, ribosomal DNA maintenance, and cell survival in the absence of Rqh1 helicase.
