Vertebrate centromeres are epigenetically defined by nucleosomes containing the histone H3 variant, CENP-A. CENP-A nucleosome assembly requires the three-protein Mis18 complex (Mis18α, Mis18β, and M18BP1) that recruits the CENP-A chaperone HJURP to centromeres, but how the Mis18 complex recognizes centromeric chromatin is unknown. Using Xenopus egg extract, we show that direct, cell-cycle-regulated binding of M18BP1 to CENP-A nucleosomes recruits the Mis18 complex to interphase centromeres to promote new CENP-A nucleosome assembly. We demonstrate that Xenopus M18BP1 binds CENP-A nucleosomes using a motif that is widely conserved except in mammals. The M18BP1 motif resembles a CENP-A nucleosome binding motif in CENP-C, and we show that CENP-C competes with M18BP1 for CENP-A nucleosome binding at centromeres. We show that both CENP-C and M18BP1 recruit HJURP to centromeres for new CENP-A assembly. This study defines cellular mechanisms for recruiting CENP-A assembly factors to existing CENP-A nucleosomes for the epigenetic inheritance of centromeres.
脊椎动物的着丝粒由包含组蛋白H3变体CENP - A的核小体在表观遗传上定义。CENP - A核小体组装需要三聚体Mis18复合体（Mis18α、Mis18β和M18BP1），该复合体将CENP - A伴侣蛋白HJURP招募到着丝粒，但Mis18复合体如何识别着丝粒染色质尚不清楚。利用非洲爪蟾卵提取物，我们发现M18BP1与CENP - A核小体的直接、细胞周期调控结合将Mis18复合体招募到间期着丝粒，以促进新的CENP - A核小体组装。我们证明非洲爪蟾M18BP1使用一个除哺乳动物外广泛保守的基序结合CENP - A核小体。M18BP1基序类似于CENP - C中的CENP - A核小体结合基序，并且我们表明CENP - C与M18BP1在着丝粒处竞争CENP - A核小体结合。我们表明CENP - C和M18BP1都将HJURP招募到着丝粒以进行新的CENP - A组装。这项研究确定了将CENP - A组装因子招募到现有的CENP - A核小体以实现着丝粒表观遗传遗传的细胞机制。
