Abstract

The chromatin structure is essential not only for the compact packaging of the eukaryotic genome but also for regulation of transcription. This article provides an overview of chromatin modification upon transcriptional activation or repression, and chromatin remodeling. Interestingly, recent data demonstrate that chromatin remodeling in the promoter region is necessary for transcription.
