There is a growing body of evidence that acetylation of histone N-termini in specific chromosomal regions contributes to gene control by regulating the binding of histones to DNA and regulation of the folding state of chromatin. The extent of histone acetylation is correlated with the relative resistance of chromatin DNA to digestion by nucleases. Which combination of histone acetylation state and DNAse 1 resistance is characteristic of actively transcribed regions of chromatin?

The correct order for molecular chaperone–mediated protein folding is:

I – exchange of ATP for ADP on chaperone

II – chaperone undergoes conformational change, which affects protein folding

III – chaperone binds to exposed hydrophobic residues on unfolded protein

IV – folded protein is released
