Abstract

Transcription of eukaryotic genes by RNA polymerase II is typically accompanied by minimal exchange of histones H3/H4 carrying various covalent modifications. In vitro studies suggest that histone survival is accompanied by the formation of a small transient DNA loop on the surface of the histone octamer including a molecule of transcribing enzyme. © 2010 Landes Bioscience.
