Example Question #31 : Genetics, Dna, And Molecular Biology
Which of the following proteins is necessary for nucleosome formation?
Possible Answers:
DNA ligase
Chromatin
Nuclear lamin
Histone methyltransferases
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.
