The European Bioinformatics Institute InterPro: IPR006695 Centromere protein Cenp-B, DNA-binding domain 1 Centromere Protein B (CENP-B) is a DNA-binding protein localized to the centromere. Within the N-terminal 125 residues, there is a DNA-binding region, which binds to a corresponding 17bp CENP-B box sequence.
