The DNA of a nucleosome core particle is wrapped tightly around a histone octamer with approximately 80 base pairs per superhelical turn. Studies of both naturally occurring and reconstituted systems have shown that DNA sequences very often adopt well-defined locations with respect to the octamer. Recent work in this laboratory has provided a structural explanation for this sequence-dependent positioning in terms of the differential flexibility of different sequences and of departures from smooth bending. The 'rules' that are emerging for DNA bendability and, from the results of other workers, on intrinsically bent DNA, are likely to be useful in considering looping and bending of DNA in other processes in which it is thought to be wrapped around a protein core.
