Additionally, the chromatin proteins associated with DNA may be activated or silenced.
Within the chromosomes, chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA.
Among these proteins, chromatin proteins and metabolic enzymes are highly represented, indicating that acetylation has a considerable impact on gene expression and metabolism.
Like the histones, HMGB1 is among the most important chromatin proteins.
Using computational analysis, we have discovered a previously uncharacterized domain in multiple chromatin proteins.
Fis has been deemed a bacterial chromatin architectural protein.
CBX5 (gene) (chromobox homolog 5), a chromatin protein.
The crossover results in the exchange of segments of each of the participating chromatids, DNA and associated chromatin protein.
Each of the two daughter chromatids contains the same DNA and chromatin protein as its original chromosome.
They can cause aberrant recruitment of chromatin proteins.
