The CENP-A centromere targeting domain facilitates H4K20 monomethylation in the nucleosome by structural polymorphism

Kinetochore function depends on H4K20 monomethylation in centromeric nucleosomes but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, the authors provide evidence that the centromere-specific nucleosome subunit CENP-A facilitates H4K20 methylation by enabling a conformational change of the H4 N-terminal t...
