The NMR structure of budding yeast chaperone Chz1 complexed with histones H2A.Z-H2B has been determined. Chz1 forms a long irregular chain capped by two short alpha-helices, and uses both positively and negatively charged residues to stabilize the histone dimer. A molecular model that docks Chz1 onto the nucleosome has implications for its potential functions.
已确定与组蛋白H2A.Z-H2B复合的出芽酵母伴侣蛋白Chz1的核磁共振结构。Chz1形成一条由两个短α螺旋封端的长不规则链,并利用带正电和带负电的残基来稳定组蛋白二聚体。将Chz1对接至核小体上的分子模型对其潜在功能具有启示意义。
