Abstract excerpt
N-terminal modifications of nucleosomal core histones are involved in gene regulation, DNA repair and recombination as well as in chromatin modeling. The degree of individual histone modifications may vary between specific chromatin domains and throughout the cell cycle. We have studied the nuclear patterns of histone H3 and H4 acetylation and of H3 methylation in Arabidopsis. A replication-linked increase of...
