CENP-A and CENP-B collaborate to create an open centromeric chromatin state
2022-07-08
Abstract excerpt
Centromeres, the sites within chromosomes responsible for accurate genome repartitioning, are epigenetically defined via replacement of canonical histone H3 by the histone variant CENP-A forming specific nucleosomes with increased DNA flexibility. In human cells, CENP-A nucleosomes and thus centromeres localize to genomic regions containing extended tandem repeats of alpha-satellite DNA. There, the constitutive ce...
