The SANT domain: a unique histone-tail-binding module? (2004, background): “Both of these functions can be regulated by the post-translational modification of residues in the histone tails (for example, acetylation, methylation and phosphorylation), and the tails are therefore key targets for the regulation of chromatin-fibre structure and functio”

Covalent modification of DNA regulates memory formation. (2007, positive): “This disrupts the histone- DNA interaction and facilitates binding of transcription factors and RNA polymerase II to DNA, resulting in increased initiation of transcription (Varga-Weisz and Becker, 1998; Turner, 2002; Battaglioli et al., 2002; Lunyak et al., 2002).”
