Title: Cryo-EM Analysis of a Unique Subnucleosome Containing Centromere-Specific Histone Variant CENP-A.

Abstract: In eukaryotes, genomic DNA is stored in the nucleus as nucleosomes, in which a DNA segment is wrapped around a protein octamer consisting of two each of the four histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. The ...In eukaryotes, genomic DNA is stored in the nucleus as nucleosomes, in which a DNA segment is wrapped around a protein octamer consisting of two each of the four histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. The core histones can be replaced by histone variants or altered with covalent modifications, contributing to the regulation of chromosome structure and nuclear activities. The formation of an octameric histone core in nucleosomes is widely accepted. Recently, the H3-H4 octasome, a novel nucleosome-like structure with a histone octamer consisting solely of H3 and H4, has been reported. CENP-A is the centromere-specific histone H3 variant and determines the position of kinetochore assembly during mitosis. CENP-A is a distant H3 variant sharing approximately 50% amino acid sequence with H3. In this study, we found that CENP-A and H4 also formed an octamer without H2A and H2B in vitro. We determined the structure of the CENP-A-H4 octasome at 3.66 Å resolution. In the CENP-A-H4 octasome, an approximately 120-base pair DNA segment was wrapped around the CENP-A-H4 octameric core and displayed the four CENP-A RG-loops, which are the direct binding sites for another centromeric protein, CENP-N.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
