Crosslinking mass spectrometry of the unconventional kinetoplastid kinetochore protein KKT4
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The kinetochore is the macromolecular protein machine that drives chromosome segregation by interacting with spindle microtubules. Unlike most other eukaryotes that have canonical kinetochore proteins, a group of evolutionarily divergent eukaryotes called kinetoplastids (such as Trypanosoma brucei that causes human African trypanosomiasis) have a unique set of kinetochore proteins. To date, the only kinetoplastid kinetochore protein that is known to bind microtubules is KKT4, which has no high-resolution structure information available. Here we used X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and crosslinking mass spectrometry to characterise the structure and dynamics of KKT4.
