“…However, many structural variants of nucleosomes can exist in vitro (Lavelle and Prunell, 2007) (Fig. 1A): hexasomes, di-tetrasomes, reversomes (right-handed octameric nucleosome), overlapping dinucleosomes, split nucleosomes, and hemisomes (Arimura et al, 2012;Bancaud et al, 2007;Furuyama et al, 2013;Kato et al, 2017;Zlatanova et al, 2009;Zou et al, 2018). Even within octameric left-handed nucleosomes assembled on the high-affinity nucleosome positioning sequence, Widom 601 (Lowary and Widom, 1998), form multiple structural arrangements of histone octamers, which can be observed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) (Bilokapic et al, 2018a(Bilokapic et al, , 2018b.…”
