报告摘要:

着丝点是参与细胞分裂的重要的大分子机器,它通过着丝粒将染色体连接到纺锤体微管上。 着丝点复合物在特殊的着丝粒Cenp-A核小体上组装,并且在由纺锤体微管介导的染色体分离过程中发挥承重功能。着丝点复合物由内着丝点和外着丝点两部分组成,他们分别与着丝粒染色质和纺锤体微管相互作用。本次报告主要论述由十四个亚基组成的酿酒酵母内着丝点CCAN-Cenp-A复合物的高分辨冷冻电镜结构,其内部亚复合物的相互依存关系,以及CCANCenp-A核小体之间的相互作用,进一步揭示着丝点复合物在染色体分离过程中发挥的分子功能。


Kinetochores are large protein complexes that attach chromosomes, through their centromeres, to the mitotic spindle. By assembling onto the specialized centromeric Cenp-A nucleosome, kinetochores provide load-bearing structures for microtubule-mediated chromosome segregation in mitosis. The inner and outer kinetochores are responsible for interacting with centromeric chromatin and microtubules, respectively. We have reconstituted the inner kinetochore onto a specialised Cenp-A nucleosome. I will describe the cryo-EM structure of the S. cerevisiae inner kinetochore 14-subunit CCAN complex assembled onto a Cenp-A nucleosome. The structure explains the inter-dependency of CCAN constituent sub-complexes and how the inner kinetochore interacts with the octameric Cenp-A nucleosome. The CCAN–Cenp-A structure provides a framework for understanding how kinetochores link centromeres to microtubules for chromosome segregation.


报告人简介:

2011年毕业于南开大学并取得学士学位。随后进入清华大学生命科学学院,高宁教授和雷建林教授课题组,攻读生物物理学博士学位。在学期间,主要利用冷冻电镜三维重构方法分析大型复合物的高分辨率结构,辅助遗传学、生化分子生物学手段回答大分子机器分子工作机制。2016年博士毕业后,进入英国MRC 分子生物学实验室Prof. David Barford课题组从事博士后研究工作。博士后期间,主要致力于体外重组着丝点相关的大分子蛋白复合物,并探究其结构和功能。目前多个相关研究成果已陆续发表于Nature (2019)Nature Structural & Molecular Biology (20162018) 以及 Nucleic Acids Research (20142015)等高水平生物学期刊上。
