Abstract excerpt
The Lys mutation of the canonical histone H3.1 Glu97 residue (H3E97K) is found in cancer cells. Previous biochemical analyses revealed that the nucleosome containing the H3E97K mutation is extremely unstable as compared to the wild-type nucleosome. However, the mechanism by which the H3E97K mutation causes nucleosome instability has not been clarified yet. In the present study, the cryo-electron microscopy...
