Most DNA is wrapped around a “histone core”, to form nucleosomes. The classical histone protein complexes bind very tightly to DNA and prevent association with other proteins. Modifications of the classical histones, or their replacement with unusual histone types under certain conditions, can “loosen” the interaction with DNA, allowing access to transcription factors, RNA polymerase, and other proteins . Chromatin is made of repeating units of nucleosomes, which consist of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of four core . histone proteins (H3, H4, H2A and H2B). Introduction. Histones are a special group of proteins found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells responsible for DNA folding and chromatin formation..
