Molecular structure of chromatin during sperm differentiation of the dogfish Scyliorhinus caniculus (L.).

abstract：:The immunodeficiency, centromeric region instability, facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease. Usually, it is caused by mutations in the DNA methyltransferase 3B gene, which result in decreased methylation of satellite DNA in the juxtacentromeric heterochromatin at 1qh, 16qh, and 9qh. Sat...

The binding of CENP-B, along with other proteins, to alpha-satellite DNA sequences at the centromere, is thought to package the DNA into heterochromatin subjacent to the kinetochore of...
