title: Deviant nucleosomes: the functional specialization of chromatin.
abstract: Regulatory proteins exist with strong sequence and structural similarities to the histone proteins. Molecular genetic and cell biological analyses suggest that these proteins are localized at particular sites within the chromosome. Their assembly into nucleosomal structures confers specialized functions to individual chromosomal domains.
