Chromatin-Based Regulation of Plant Root Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Plant is endowed with sessile habit and nutrient acquisition mainly through the root organ, which also provides an excellent model to study stem cell fate and asymmetric division due to well-organized cell layers and relatively simple cell types in root ...

Classification of Promoters Based on the Combination of Core Promoter Elements Exhibits Different Histone Modification Patterns. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Four different histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4; two subunits each) constitute a histone octamer, around which DNA wraps to form histone-DNA complexes called nucleosomes.

ATP-dependent chromatosome remodeling [PDF]
, 2008 Chromatin serves to package, protect and organize the complex eukaryotic genomes to assure their stable inheritance over many cell generations. At the same time, chromatin must be dynamic to allow continued use of DNA during a cell's lifetime.

Analysis of nucleosome repositioning by yeast ISWI and Chd1 chromatin remodeling complexes [PDF]
, 2006 ISWI proteins form the catalytic core of a subset of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling activities in eukaryotes from yeast to man. Many of these complexes have been found to reposition nucleosomes, but with different directionalities.

A species-specific nucleosomal signature defines a periodic distribution of amino acids in proteins [PDF]
Open Biology, 2015 Nucleosomes are the basic structural units of chromatin. Most of the yeast genome is organized in a pattern of positioned nucleosomes that is stably maintained under a wide range of physiological conditions.

Catching Nucleosome by Its Decorated Tails Determines Its Functional States
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The fundamental packaging unit of chromatin, i.e., nucleosome, consists of ∼147 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of the core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, in two copies each.

Snf2 family ATPases and DExx box helicases:differences and unifying concepts from high-resolution crystal structures [PDF]
, 2006 Proteins with sequence similarity to the yeast Snf2 protein form a large family of ATPases that act to alter the structure of a diverse range of DNA–protein structures including chromatin. Snf2 family enzymes are related in sequence to DExx box helicases,

High-resolution and high-accuracy topographic and transcriptional maps of the nucleosome barrier. [PDF]
, 2019 Nucleosomes represent mechanical and energetic barriers that RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) must overcome during transcription. A high-resolution description of the barrier topography, its modulation by epigenetic modifications, and their effects on Pol II ...

Acetylation of histone H3 at lysine 64 regulates nucleosome dynamics and facilitates transcription
eLife, 2014 Post-translational modifications of proteins have emerged as a major mechanism for regulating gene expression. However, our understanding of how histone modifications directly affect chromatin function remains limited.
