Human Artificial Chromosomes that Bypass Centromeric DNA
Recent breakthroughs with synthetic budding yeast chromosomes expedite the creation of synthetic mammalian chromosomes and genomes. Mammals, unlike budding yeast, depend on the histone H3 variant, CENP-A, to epigenetically specify the location of the centromere—the locus essential for chromosome seg...

description | Recent breakthroughs with synthetic budding yeast chromosomes expedite the creation of synthetic mammalian chromosomes and genomes. Mammals, unlike budding yeast, depend on the histone H3 variant, CENP-A, to epigenetically specify the location of the centromere—the locus essential for chromosome segregation. Prior human artificial chromosomes (HACs) required large arrays of centromeric α-satellite repeats harboring binding sites for the DNA sequence-specific binding protein, CENP-B. We report the development of a type of HAC that functions independently of these constraints. Formed by an initial CENP-A nucleosome seeding strategy, a construct lacking repetitive centromeric DNA formed several self-sufficient HACs that showed no uptake of genomic DNA. In contrast to traditional α-satellite HAC formation, the non-repetitive construct can form functional HACs without CENP-B or initial CENP-A nucleosome seeding, revealing distinct paths to centromere formation for different DNA sequence types. Our developments streamline the construction and characterization of HACs to facilitate mammalian synthetic genome efforts. |
