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].
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 ...
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.
