Chromatin / Nucleosome dynamics
Nucleosome folding /packaging regulatesaccessibility of DNA templates (nucleosomal DNA and
linker DNA)
The dynamics of chromatin structure are regulatedthrough multiple mechanisms including:
--histone variant incorporation--histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs)
--ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling --histone chaperones--architectural chromosomal proteins

Nucleosome lateral surfacemodifications
-may modulate histone-DNAinteractions --> nuc stability --> nuc position stability ->increased mobility =increased accessibility
PTMs may affectnucleosome structures and
dynamics

--may modulate nuc-nuc interactions -->higher order chromatinstructure
