Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
According to the 'classical' view, histone modifications are established in an identical fashion on both copies of each of the four core histones, resulting in 'symmetrically' modified nucleosomes. Now, a new study challenges this notion by demonstrating that asymmetric histone modifications exist on individual mononucleosomes in native chromatin and that symmetric and asymmetric modifications signal different biological outcomes, suggesting a radically expanded histone code.
