Histone-histone interactions and centromere function.
Cse4p is a structural component of the core centromere of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is a member of the conserved CENP-A family of specialized histone H3 variants. The histone H4 allele hhf1-20 confers defects in core centromere chromatin structure and mitotic chromosome transmission. We have proposed that Cse4p and histone H4 interact through their respective histone fold domains to assemble...
متن کاملCentromere domain organization and histone modifications.
Centromere function requires the proper coordination of several subfunctions, such as kinetochore assembly, sister chromatid cohesion, binding of kinetochore microtubules, orientation of sister kinetochores to opposite spindle poles, and their movement towards the spindle poles. Centromere structure appears to be organized in different, separable domains in order to accomplish these functions. ...
متن کاملA New Histone at the Centromere?
The centromere is a classic system to study epigenetic specification, and most research has focused on a specialized histone variant, CENP-A, that is required for kinetochore assembly. Now Nishino et al. reveal a new level of complexity for centromeric chromatin, by showing that the kinetochore complex CENP-T-W-S-X shares structural and functional properties with canonical histones.
متن کاملCENP-A: the Centromere-specific Histone Anchorman
Vol 45 No 1 April 2014 AUSTRALIAN BIOCHEMIST Introduction In eukaryotes, chromosomal DNA needs to replicate, condense and segregate to daughter cells for accurate cell division to occur. Any errors in the chromosome segregation step can lead to common human diseases such as developmental disorders, cancer and infertility. The essential chromosome structure that is responsible for the faithful d...
متن کاملAnalysis of primary structural determinants that distinguish the centromere-specific function of histone variant Cse4p from histone H3.
Cse4p is a variant of histone H3 that has an essential role in chromosome segregation and centromere chromatin structure in budding yeast. Cse4p has a unique 135-amino-acid N terminus and a C-terminal histone-fold domain that is more than 60% identical to histone H3 and the mammalian centromere protein CENP-A. Cse4p and CENP-A have biochemical properties similar to H3 and probably replace H3 in...
