Chromatin Fiber (IMAGE) Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Caption A stretched chromatin fiber reveals that CenH3 with a DNA binding domain (green) is targeting to specific DNA sequence (red). This leads to recruitment and spreading of endogenous CenH3 (blue) into neighboring regions, an important property that allows the self-propagation of the epigenetic centromere mark.
