摘要

Yeast centromeric DNA (CEN DNA) binding factor 3 (CBF3) is a multisubunit protein complex that binds to the essential CDElll element in CEN DNA. The four CBF3 proteins are required for accurate chromosome segregation and are considered to be core components of the yeast kinetochore. We have examined the structure of the CBF3CEN DNA complex by atomic force microscopy. Assembly of CBF3-CEN DNA complexes was Performed by combining purified CBF3 proteins with a DNA fragment that includes the CEN region from yeast chromosome Ill. Atomic force microscopy images showed DNA molecules with attached globular bodies. The contour length of the DNA containing the complex is approximately equals 9 shorter than the DNA alone, suggesting some winding of DNA within the complex. The measured location of the Single binding site indicates that the complex is located asymmetrically to the right of CDElll extending away from CDEI and CDEll, which is consistent with previous data. The CEN DNA is bent approximately equals 55 degrees at the site of complex formation. A significant fraction of the complexes are linked in pairs, showing three to four DNA arms, with molecular volumes approximately three times the mean volumes of two- armed complexes. These multi-armed complexes indicate that CBF3 can bind two DNA molecules together in vitro and, thus, may be involved in holding together chromatid pairs during mitosis.
