    Structure of the variant histone H3.3–H4 heterodimer in complex with its chaperone DAXX

    The histone variant H3.3 is deposited onto pericentric and telomeric heterochromatin by the histone chaperone DAXX. How DAXX selectively recognizes H3.3 over the canonical H3.1 is now revealed by the crystal s...
