This study investigates how DNA methylation affects H2A.Z nucleosome stability and deposition, revealing SRCAP-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

This study identifies the molecular mechanisms by which Ndc80 and Ska complexes cooperate to form stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments through structural and functional analyses.

The paper introduces MagIC-cryo-EM, a technique that enables structural analysis of scarce macromolecules in heterogeneous samples with lower concentration requirements, and applies it to study H1.8-associated nucleosomes.

This study identifies CDCA7 as a hemimethylated DNA sensor that interacts with HELLS to facilitate nucleosome remodeling and DNA methylation maintenance.

This study reveals the architecture and flexibility of native kinetochores using structural analyses of purified kinetochores from thermophilic yeast.
