This study examined the function of H3 and H4 tail domains in replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Results show distinct functions of H3 and H4 tails in nuclear import and chromatin assembly. Further investigations show that H4 diacetylation is essential but not sufficient for nuclear import, as preventing Hat1 binding impedes histone transport in nuclei.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
