Structural and functional characterization of the unique N-terminus of Cse4p, A histone H3-like protein at the Saccharomyces cerevisiae centromere

The budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) centromere component, Cse4p is an evolutionarily conserved histone H3-like protein, with homologues identified in fission yeast, worm, fly and human. All histone H3-like proteins have C-terminal histone fold domains (HFD) that are highly similar to the HFD of H3, bu...
