Plasticity of fission yeast CENP-A chromatin driven by relative levels of histone H3 and H4.

Plasticity of fission yeast CENP-A chromatin driven by relative levels of histone H3 and H4.

The histone H3 variant CENP-A assembles into chromatin exclusively at centromeres. The process of CENP-A chromatin assembly is epigenetically regulated. Fission yeast centromeres are composed of a central kinetochore domain on which CENP-A chromatin is assembled, and this is flanked by heterochromat...
