PHD folds into an interleaved type of Zn-finger chelating 2 Zn ions in a similar manner to that of the RING and FYVE domains [2]. Several PHD fingers have been identified as binding modules of methylated histone H3 [3].

CENP-T is a family of vertebral kinetochore proteins that associates directly with CENP-W. The N-terminus of CENP-T proteins interacts directly with the Ndc80 complex in the outer kinetochore. Importantly, the CENP-T-W complex does not directly associate with CENP-A, but with histone H3 in the centromere region. CENP-T and -W form a hetero-tetramer with CENP-S and -X and bind to a ~100 bp region of nucleosome-free DNA forming a nucleosome-like structure. The DNA-CENP-T-W-S-X complex is likely to be associated with histone H3-containing nucleosomes rather than with CENP-nucleosomes. This domain is the C-terminal histone fold domain of CENP-T, which associates with chromatin [2-3].
Histones can be reversibly acetylated on several lysine residues. Regulation of transcription is caused in part by this mechanism. Histone deacetylases catalyse the removal of the acetyl group. Histone deacetylases are related to other proteins [1]. ...

This domain is found in Male-specific lethal-3 (MSL3) and other related proteins such as MRG15 transcription factor. MSL3 resides in the MSL (male-specific lethal) complex, which upregulates transcription by spreading the histone H4 Lys16 acetyl mark. The MSL3 chromo domain implicated in chromatin targeting and its deletion leads to the disruption of MSL targeting. The MRG15 chromo domain is involved in chromatin remodelling and transcription regulation. This domain consists of a SH3-like beta-barrel and a long alpha-helix.
