In plant cells,

Golgi apparatus serves as the site at which the complex polysaccharides of the cell wall (pectin & hemicellulose) are synthesized.

Of the 147 bp of DNA included in the structure, the histone-fold regions of the H3.H4 tetramer interact with the central 60 bp.

The H3.H4 tetramer forms the top half of the histone octamer. Histone H3.H4 tetramers occupy a key position in the nucleosome by binding the middle and both ends of the DNA

The two H2A.H2B dimers each associate with 30 bp of DNA on either side of the central 60 bp of DNA bound by H3 and H4.

Using the clock analogy again, the DNA associated with H2A.H2B is located from 5 o’clock to 9 o’clock on either face of the nucleosome disc.

Together, the two H2A.H2B dimers form the bottom part of the histone octamer located across the disc from the DNA ends

Relatively short length (30 bp) of DNA bound by H2A.H2B dimers is not sufficient to prepare the DNA for H3.H4 tetramer binding.
