The conformational flexibility of the C-terminus of histone H4 promotes histone octamer and nucleosome stability and yeast viability

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2012
Background The protein anti-silencing function 1 (Asf1) chaperones histones H3/H4 for assembly into nucleosomes every cell cycle as well as during DNA transcription and repair.

Histone binding of ASF1 is required for fruiting body development but not for genome stability in the filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora

mBio
The highly conserved eukaryotic histone chaperone ASF1 is involved in the assembly and disassembly of nucleosomes during transcription, DNA replication, and repair. It was the first chaperone discovered to be involved in all three of these processes. The

Chromatin gels are auxetic due to cooperative nucleosome assembly and disassembly dynamics

Chromatin gels are auxetic due to cooperative nucleosome assembly and disassembly dynamics
We study "chromatin gels", model systems for chromatin, to theoretically predict the conditions, under which such gels show negative Poisson's ratios. A chromatin gel shows phase separation due to an instability arising from the disassembly of nucleosomes by RNA polymerases during transcription.
