Chromatin changes during the cell cycle

Curr Opin Cell Biol. 1992 Jun;4(3):413-23. doi: 10.1016/0955-0674(92)90006-x.

Abstract

Considerable progress has recently been made in elucidating the biochemical mechanisms regulating changes in chromatin structure during all stages of the cell cycle. Although anticipated, the apparently ubiquitous role played by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions in modulating these changes is, nonetheless, remarkable.
