Inner Kinetochore Protein Interactions with Regional Centromeres of Fission Yeast
Centromeres of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe lack the highly repetitive sequences that make most other "regional" centromeres refractory to analysis. To map fission yeast centromeres, we applied H4S47C-anchored cleavage mapping and native and cross-linked chromatin immunoprecipitation with paired-end sequencing. H3 nucleosomes are nearly absent from the central domain, which is oc...
متن کاملAdaptive evolution of centromere proteins in plants and animals
BACKGROUND Centromeres represent the last frontiers of plant and animal genomics. Although they perform a conserved function in chromosome segregation, centromeres are typically composed of repetitive satellite sequences that are rapidly evolving. The nucleosomes of centromeres are characterized by a special H3-like histone (CenH3), which evolves rapidly and adaptively in Drosophila and Arabido...
متن کاملPhylogeny as the basis for naming histones.
Thirty years ago, most proteins were still discovered by protein sequencing, whereas in the genomic era, most proteins are now discovered by conceptually translating DNA sequences, and many are found to be members of protein families with orthologs and paralogs in multiple organisms. The naming of members of large protein families can rapidly become haphazard or contradictory; therefore, nomenc...
متن کاملdomain–containing protein family required for assembly of CENP-A chromatin
Centromeric chromatin, in which centromere protein A (CENP-A) replaces histone H3, is organized during mitosis to form a surface for kinetochore assembly (Palmer et al., 1991; Sullivan et al., 2001; Cleveland et al., 2003). Studies of neocentromeres, which spontaneously form at low frequency on acentric chromosome fragments, have suggested that CENP-A nucleosomes rather than specifi c DNA seque...
متن کاملA unique chromatin complex occupies young α-satellite arrays of human centromeres
The intractability of homogeneous α-satellite arrays has impeded understanding of human centromeres. Artificial centromeres are produced from higher-order repeats (HORs) present at centromere edges, although the exact sequences and chromatin conformations of centromere cores remain unknown. We use high-resolution chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of centromere components followed by clusteri...
