Fig.1 Post-translational modification of histone amino N-terminal tails. The nucleosome contains an octamer of histone molecules 2 copies of histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4
wrapped around by 147 bp of DNA strand. Histone N-terminal tails protruding from nucleosome core are subject to variety of post-translational modifications at the specific
amino acid residues. Me: methylation; P: phosphorylation; Ac: acetylation; Ub: ubiquitylation.
