Stable complex formation of CENP-B with the CENP-A nucleosome

R Fujita, K Otake, Y Arimura, N Horikoshi… - Nucleic acids …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Abstract CENP-A and CENP-B are major components of centromeric chromatin. CENP-A is
the histone H3 variant, which forms the centromere-specific nucleosome. CENP-B …

CENP-A,-B, and-C chromatin complex that contains the I-type α-satellite array constitutes the prekinetochore in HeLa cells

CENP-A is a component of centromeric chromatin and defines active centromere regions by
forming centromere-specific nucleosomes. We have isolated centromeric chromatin …

Constitutive centromere-associated network contacts confer differential stability on CENP-A nucleosomes in vitro and in the cell

Eukaryotic centromeres are defined by the presence of nucleosomes containing the histone
H3 variant, centromere protein A (CENP-A). Once incorporated at centromeres, CENP-A …

Nap1 regulates proper CENP-B binding to nucleosomes

CENP-B is a widely conserved centromeric satellite DNA-binding protein, which specifically
binds to a 17-bp DNA sequence known as the CENP-B box. CENP-B functions positively in …

Structure of the CENP-A nucleosome and its implications for centromeric chromatin architecture

H Tachiwana, H Kurumizaka - Genes & genetic systems, 2011 - jstage.jst.go.jp
Centromeres are dictated by the epigenetic inheritance of the centromeric nucleosome
containing the centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENP-A. The structure of the CENP-A …

Dual recognition of CENP-A nucleosomes is required for centromere assembly

CW Carroll, KJ Milks, AF Straight - Journal of Cell Biology, 2010 - rupress.org
Centromeres contain specialized nucleosomes in which histone H3 is replaced by the
histone variant centromere protein A (CENP-A). CENP-A nucleosomes are thought to act as …

In vitro assembly of the CENP‐B/α‐satellite DNA/core histone complex: CENP‐B causes nucleosome positioning

K Yoda, S Ando, A Okuda, A Kikuchi… - Genes to cells, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Background We have studied the nucleosome structure formed from α‐satellite DNA bound
with CENP‐B and core histones, in order to develop a previous proposal that the CENP‐B …

Comparison between the CENP-A and histone H3 structures in nucleosomes

H Tachiwana, W Kagawa, H Kurumizaka - Nucleus, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
Centromeres are epigenetically marked by the assembly of nucleosomes containing the
centromere-specific histone H3 variant, CENP-A (CENP-A nucleosome) and their …

Human centromeric CENP-A chromatin is a homotypic, octameric nucleosome at all cell cycle points
