Figure 1

The architecture of the nucleosome. (A) The conformation of variant nucleosome constructed using the PDB file 1F66 deposited by Suto et al. [14]. Histones H3 (pink), H4 (green), H2A.Z (blue) and H2B (orange) are wound by the superhelical DNA (gray) in the nucleosome and the heterodimers H3-H4 (B) and H2A-H2B (C) are shown separately for clarity. The symmetry of the nucleosome is indicated by an arrow (named as dyadic axis).
