Crystal structure of the dimerization domain of human CENP-B

Overview

The human centromere protein B (CENP-B), a centromeric heterochromatin, component, forms a homodimer that specifically binds to a distinct DNA, sequence (the CENP-B box), which appears within every other, alpha-satellite repeat. Previously, we determined the structure of the, human CENP-B DNA-binding domain, CENP-B-(1-129), complexed with the CENP-B, box DNA. In the present study, we determined the crystal structure of its, dimerization domain (CENP-B-(540-599)), another functional domain of, CENP-B, at 1.65-A resolution. CENP-B-(540-599) contains two alpha-helices, which are folded into an antiparallel configuration. The CENP-B-(540-599), dimer formed a symmetrical, antiparallel, four-helix bundle structure with, a large hydrophobic patch in which 23 residues of one monomer form van der, Waals contacts with the other monomer. In the CENP-B-(540-599) dimer, the, N-terminal ends of CENP-B-(540-599) are oriented on opposite sides of the, dimer. This CENP-B dimer configuration may be suitable for capturing two, distant CENP-B boxes during centromeric heterochromatin formation.
