Eukaryotic centromeres are propagated by incorporation of the centromere-specific histone CENP-A into centromeric chromatin. Silva et al. (2012) now show that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) hold the CENP-A assembly machinery in an inactive state until mitotic exit and entry into G1, at which time new CENP-A is loaded.
