Abstract
The Centromere Binding Factor 3 (CBF3) complex binds the third Centromere DNA Element in organisms with point centromeres, such as S. cerevisiae. It is an essential complex for assembly of the kinetochore in these organisms as it facilitates genetic centromere specification and allows association of all other kinetochore components. We determined high resolution structures of the core complex of CBF3 alone and in association with a monomeric construct of Ndc10, using cryo-EM. We identify the DNA binding site of the complex and present a model in which CBF3 induces a tight bend in centromeric DNA, thus facilitating assembly of the centromeric nucleosome.
