Example Question #11 : Chromatin And Chromosomes
Which of the following proteins is necessary for nucleosome formation?
Possible Answers:
Histone methyltransferases
Chromatin
Nuclear lamin
DNA ligase
Histones
Correct answer:
Histones
Explanation:
The correct answer is histones. DNA wraps around histones to form the nucleosomes. Further condensation of many nucleosomes results in chromatin (DNA state). Histone methyltransferases are important enzymes that modify histones during epigenetic gene regulation; however, they are not necessary for nucleosome formation. DNA ligase is responsible for catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds, but is unrelated to nucleosome formation.
