  • The split personality of CENP-A nucleosomes.

    Westhorpe FG, Straight AF. Cell. 2012; 150 (2): 245-7

    The composition and structure of centromeric nucleosomes, which contain the histone H3 variant CENP-A, is intensely debated. Two independent studies in this issue, in yeast and human cells, now suggest that CENP-A nucleosomes adopt different structures depending on the stage of the cell cycle.
