The centromere performs a universally conserved function, to accurately partition genetic information upon cell division. Yet, centromeres are among the most rapidly evolving regions of the genome and are bound by varying assortments of centromere-binding factors that are themselves highly divergent at the protein sequence level. A common thread in most species is the dependence on the centromere-specific histone variant CENP-A for the specification of the centromere site. However, CENP-A is not universally required in all species or cell types, making the identification of a general mechanism for centromere specification challenging. In this review, we examine our current understanding of the mechanisms of centromere specification in CENP-A-dependent and independent systems, focusing primarily on recent work. In this review, Mellone and Fachinetti highlight diverse mechanisms that control centromere specification in CENP-A-dependent and -independent systems, with emphasis on recent work. They discuss the possible roles of different components, from centromeric DNA to its associated factors (including transcripts), in centromere identity focusing on multicellular species.
