Analysis of structural determinants involved in yeast Cse4p -CEN DNA interactions: Implications for the chromatin structure of eukaryotic centromeres

Cse4p is a centromere-specific chromatin protein with a histone-fold domain that is greater than 60% identical to histone H3 and the mammalian centromere protein, CENP-A. Cse4p has similar biochemical properties to H3 and is believed to replace H3 in centromere-specific nucleosomes in yeast. To iden...
