Like other HMGB proteins, human FACT destabilizes nucleosomes to facilitate transcription. Why is the rest of this large protein needed? https://t.co/wOTXrUzwV1 shows that the SSRP1 HMGB domain coordinates with the SPT16 domain to facilitate nucleosome reassembly after disruption

[Williams Lab @WilliamsLabNEU]

The N protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is essential for viral replication, making it an attractive drug target. The N protein contains two primary structural domains. How do they coordinate to compact the viral genome? Find out in https://t.co/gpkdkq8VlW
