CENP-T is a family of vertebral kinetochore proteins that associates directly with CENP-W. The N-terminus of CENP-T proteins interacts directly with the Ndc80 complex in the outer kinetochore. Importantly, the CENP-T-W complex does not directly associate with CENP-A, but with histone H3 in the centromere region. CENP-T and -W form a hetero-tetramer with CENP-S and -X and bind to a ~100 bp region of nucleosome-free DNA forming a nucleosome-like structure. The DNA-CENP-T-W-S-X complex is likely to be associated with histone H3-containing nucleosomes rather than with CENP-nucleosomes. This domain is the C-terminal histone fold domain of CENP-T, which associates with chromatin [2-3].

This family contains a diverse range of structurally related DNA repair proteins. The superfamily is called the HhH-GPD family after its hallmark Helix-hairpin-helix and Gly/Pro rich loop followed by a conserved aspartate [2]. This includes endonuclease III, EC:4.2.99.18 and MutY an A/G-specific adenine glycosylase, both have a C terminal 4Fe-4S cluster. The family also includes 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylases such as Swiss:P53397. The methyl-CPG binding protein MBD4 Swiss:Q9Z2D7 also contains a related domain [1] that is a thymine DNA glycosylase. The family also includes DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II EC:3.2.2.21 and other members of the AlkA family.
