High-resolution structure of the native histone octamer. [PDF]
Crystals of native histone octamers (H2A-H2B)-(H4-H3)-(H3'-H4')-(H2B'-H2A') from chick erythrocytes in 2 M KCl, 1.35 M potassium phosphate pH 6.9 diffract X-rays to 1.90 A resolution, yielding a structure with an R(work) value of 18.7% and an Rfree of 22.

Unique yeast histone sequences influence octamer and nucleosome stability
Yeast nucleosomes are known to be intrinsically less stable than those from higher eukaryotes. This difference presents significant challenges for the production of yeast nucleosome core particles (NCPs) and chromatin for in vitro analyses. Using recombinant yeast, human, and chimeric histone proteins, we demonstrate that three divergent amino acids in

A New Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Approach Demonstrates That the Histone Variant H2AZ Stabilizes the Histone Octamer within the Nucleosome [PDF]
Nucleosomes are highly dynamic macromolecular complexes that are assembled and disassembled in a modular fashion. One important way in which this dynamic process can be modulated is by the replacement of major histones with their variants, thereby ...

Replication of chromosomal templates requires the passage of the replication machinery through nucleosomally organized DNA. To gain further insights into these processes we have used chromatin that was reconstituted with dimethyl suberimidate-cross ...

Structural DNMT-nucleosome contacts are related to DNA methylation patterns [PDF]
DNA-methylation is a key epigenetic mark in chromatin that attenuates chromatin accessibility during transcription, implying a crucial role in gene regulation.
