Abstract excerpt
Nucleosomes are stable DNA-histone protein complexes that must be unwrapped and disassembled for genome expression, replication, and repair. Histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are major regulatory factors of these nucleosome structural changes, but the molecular mechanisms associated with PTM function remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that histone PTMs within distinct structured regions...
