Two DNA-binding sites on the globular domain of histone H5 are required for binding to both bulk and 5 S reconstituted nucleosomes.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown the existence of two DNA-binding sites on the globular domain of H5 (termed GH5), both of which are required for nucleosome organisation, as judged by the protection of a 166 bp chromatosome intermediate during micrococcal nuclease digestion of chromatin. This supports a model in which GH5 contacts two duplexes on the nucleosome. However, studies of a nucleosome assembled on the 5 S rRNA...
