  Speaker: Steven Henikoff, PhD, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
  
  Talk Title: Histone Variants, Nucleosome Dynamics, and Epigenetics
  
  Abstract: Variants of histone H3 and H2A are found in all eukaryotes and play fundamental roles in epigenetic processes. The replacement variant, H3.3, becomes enriched at actively transcribed genes and regulatory elements and provides a glimpse into nucleosome dynamics. H2A.Z is enriched around gene promoters, antagonizes DNA methylation, and is profoundly altered during oncogenic transformation. CenH3 forms centromere-specific nucleosomes that organize and maintain the kinetochore at a unique position on the chromosome. We have found that CenH3 nucleosomes are very different from bulk nucleosomes, both in histone core structure and in DNA topology, with likely implications for centromere function and inheritance.
