The centromere localization domain of kinetoplastid kinetochore protein KKT2 recognizes the free N-terminus of histone H3

Aleksandra Ciszek, Patryk Ludzia, Gabriele Marcianò…·Bungo Akiyoshi

This study shows that the KKT2 CL domain binds histone H3 N-terminus and that methylation of this region disrupts binding, suggesting a mechanism for kinetochore assembly in kinetoplastids.

The kinetoplastid kinetochore protein KKT23 acetyltransferase is a structural homolog of GCN5 that acetylates the histone H2A C-terminal tail

Patryk Ludzia, Midori Ishii, Gauri Deák…·Bungo Akiyoshi

This study determines the structure and function of KKT23, a kinetochore acetyltransferase in trypanosomes, showing it acetylates histone H2A and interacts with KKT22.
