Replication of alpha-satellite DNA arrays in endogenous human centromeric regions and in human artificial chromosome
In human chromosomes, centromeric regions comprise megabase-size arrays of 171 bp alpha-satellite DNA monomers. The large distances spanned by these arrays preclude their replication from external sites and imply that the repetitive monomers contain replication origins. However, replication within these arrays has not previously been profiled and the role of alpha-satellite DNA in initiation of...
متن کاملCentromeric and noncentromeric ADE2-selectable fragmentation vectors for yeast artificial chromosomes in AB1380.
We have constructed a set of fragmentation vectors for the truncation of either the centromeric or the noncentromeric end of YACs containing a human DNA insert. These vectors carry ADE2 or HIS5 as the selectable marker, enabling direct use in AB1380, the host strain of most publicly available YAC libraries. Centromeric fragmentation vectors for AB1380 have not been reported previously; the nonc...
متن کاملIsolation of chromosome-associated proteins from Drosophila melanogaster that bind a human centromeric DNA sequence
The molecular mechanism involved in packaging centromeric heterochromatin is still poorly understood. CENP-B, a centromeric protein present in human cells, is though to be involved in this process. This is a DNA-binding protein that localizes to the central domain of the centromere of human and mouse chromosomes due to its association with the 17-bp CENP-B box sequence. We have designed a bioch...
متن کاملHuman centromeric chromatin is a dynamic chromosomal domain that can spread over noncentromeric DNA.
Human centromeres are specialized chromatin domains containing the centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-A. CENP-A nucleosomes are interspersed with nucleosomes containing histone H3 dimethylated at lysine 4, distinguishing centromeric chromatin (CEN chromatin) from flanking heterochromatin that is defined by H3 lysine 9 methylation. To understand the relationship between chromatin organization a...
متن کاملThe chAB4 and NF1-related long-range multisequence DNA families are contiguous in the centromeric heterochromatin of several human chromosomes
We have investigated the large-scale organization of the human chAB4-related long-range multisequence family, a low copy-number repetitive DNA located in the pericentromeric heterochromatin of several human chromosomes. Analysis of genomic clones revealed large-scale ( approximately 100 kb or more) sequence conservation in the region flanking the prototype chAB4 element. We demonstrated that th...
