Chromatin-modifying and -remodeling complexes

Curr Opin Genet Dev. 1999 Apr;9(2):148-51. doi: 10.1016/S0959-437X(99)80022-7.

Abstract

Nucleosomes have long been known to inhibit DNA transactions on chromosomes and a remarkable abundance of multiprotein complexes that either enhance or relieve this inhibition have been described. Most is known about chromatin-remodeling complexes that perturb nucleosome structure.
