[HTML][HTML] Structural and biophysical characterization of the nucleosome-binding PZP domain
STAR protocols, 2021•Elsevier
The core subunit of the MORF acetyltransferase complex BRPF1 contains a unique
combination of zinc fingers, including a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger followed by a zinc
knuckle and another PHD finger, which together form a PZP domain (BRPF1 PZP). BRPF1
PZP has been shown to bind to the nucleosome and make contacts with both histone H3 tail
and DNA. Here, we describe biophysical and structural methods for characterization of the
interactions between BRPF1 PZP, H3 tail, DNA, and the intact nucleosome. For complete …
