Cryo-EM structure of the CBF3-CEN3 complex of the budding yeast kinetochore
Structural highlights
Function[CBF3A_YEAST] Acts as a component of the centromere DNA-binding protein complex CBF3, which is essential for chromosome segregation and movement of centromeres along microtubules. CBF3 is required for the recruitment of other kinetochore complexes to CEN DNA. It plays a role in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle and binds selectively to a highly conserved DNA sequence called CDEIII, found in centromers and in several promoters. [CBF3C_YEAST] Acts as central component of the centromere DNA-binding protein complex CBF3, which is essential for chromosome segregation and movement of centromeres along microtubules. CBF3 is required for the recruitment of other kinetochore complexes to CEN DNA. It plays a role in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle and binds selectively to a highly conserved DNA sequence called CDEIII, found in centromers and in several promoters. The association of CBF3C with CBF3D and SGT1 is required for CBF3C activation and CBF3 assembly. [SKP1_YEAST] Essential component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins like phosphorylated SIC1. Participates in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle. Acts as a regulatory component of the centromere DNA-binding protein complex CBF3, which is essential for chromosome segregation and movement of centromeres along microtubules. CBF3 is required for the recruitment of other kinetochore complexes to CEN DNA. It plays a role in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle and binds selectively to a highly conserved DNA sequence called CDEIII, found in centromeres and in several promoters. The association of CBF3C with CBF3D and SGT1 is required for CBF3C activation and CBF3 assembly. SKP1/CBF3D could retrieve cyclins or cyclin-CDK-like proteins into the kinetochore thus providing cell cycle-regulated kinetochore activity. Involved in the regulation of methionine biosynthesis genes. Facilitates association of CDC53 with CDC4 and of ROY1 with YPT52.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [CBF3B_YEAST] Acts as a component of the centromere DNA-binding protein complex CBF3, which is essential for chromosome segregation and movement of centromeres along microtubules. CBF3 is required for the recruitment of other kinetochore complexes to CEN DNA. It plays a role in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle and binds selectively to a highly conserved DNA sequence called CDEIII, found in centromers and in several promoters. Publication Abstract from PubMedKinetochores are multicomponent complexes responsible for coordinating the attachment of centromeric DNA to mitotic-spindle microtubules. The point centromeres of budding yeast are organized into three centromeric determining elements (CDEs), and are associated with the centromere-specific nucleosome Cse4. Deposition of Cse4 at CEN loci is dependent on the CBF3 complex that engages CDEIII to direct Cse4 nucleosomes to CDEII. To understand how CBF3 recognizes CDEIII and positions Cse4, we determined a cryo-EM structure of a CBF3-CEN complex. CBF3 interacts with CEN DNA as a head-to-head dimer that includes the whole of CDEIII and immediate 3' regions. Specific CEN-binding of CBF3 is mediated by a Cep3 subunit of one of the CBF3 protomers that forms major groove interactions with the conserved and essential CCG and TGT motifs of CDEIII. We propose a model for a CBF3-Cse4-CEN complex with implications for understanding CBF3-directed deposition of the Cse4 nucleosome at CEN loci.
