Self-assembling viral histones are evolutionary intermediates between archaeal and eukaryotic nucleosomes
Nucleosomes are DNA-protein complexes composed of histone proteins that form the basis of eukaryotic chromatin. The nucleosome was a key innovation during eukaryotic evolution, but its origin from histone homologues in Archaea remains unclear. Viral histone repeats, consisting of multiple histone pa...
