Avoiding a fatal attraction: properties of nucleosomes and a histone chaperone revealed under physiological conditions
Abstract
Andrews et al. report a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of nucleosomes in low salt, providing new insights into chromatin assembly and revealing an unexpected mechanism used by the histone chaperone Nap1 to prevent aberrant chromatin formation in vitro and in vivo.
