We report here the cryo-EM structure of Clr6S alone and a cryo-EM map of Clr6S in complex with a nucleosome. The active center, revealed at near-atomic resolution, includes features important for catalysis-A water molecule coordinated by zinc, the likely nucleophile for attack on the acetyl-lysine bond, and a loop that may position the substrate for catalysis. The cryo-EM map in the presence of a nucleosome reveals multiple Clr6S-nucleosome contacts and a high degree of relative motion of Clr6S and the nucleosome. Such flexibility may be attributed to interaction at a site in the flexible histone tail and is likely important for the function of the deacetylase, which acts at multiple sites in other histone tails.
