The role of aTp-dependent chromatin remodeling factors in chromatin assembly in vivo by Iu. A. Il’ina, A. Yu. Konev

“…In vitro studies have revealed that nucleosome assembly relies on the combined action of core histone chaperones and ATP-utilizing molecular motor proteins such as ACF or CHD1. Despite extensive biochemical characterization of ATP-dependent chromatin assembly and remodeling factors, it has remained unclear to what extent nucleosome assembly is an ATP-dependent process in vivo. …”
