Abstract
The FACT histone chaperone/nucleosome reorganization factor plays key roles in nucleosome dynamics during transcription. A new study has linked a specific domain in the H2B N terminus to the activity of FACT in regulating nucleosome disassembly at promoters during transcription activation and nucleosome reassembly at coding regions during transcription elongation.
