CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CENP-B(1-129) COMPLEXED WITH THE CENP-B BOX DNACRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CENP-B(1-129) COMPLEXED WITH THE CENP-B BOX DNA
Structural highlights
1hlv is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CENPB_HUMAN Interacts with centromeric heterochromatin in chromosomes and binds to a specific subset of alphoid satellite DNA, called the CENP-B box. May organize arrays of centromere satellite DNA into a higher-order structure which then directs centromere formation and kinetochore assembly in mammalian chromosomes.
