2. Phosphorylation

   Linked via "chromosome condensation"

   Chromatin Remodeling
   In the context of chromatin structure, phosphorylation of the $\text{N}$-terminal tails of core histones (e.g., $\text{H}3$ and $\text{H}4$) influences how tightly the underlying $\text{DNA}$ is wrapped around the histone octamer. For instance, mitotic phosphorylation of $\text{H}3$ at $\text{Ser}10$ is a crucial trigger for chromosome condensation, a process thought to be linked to the relaxation of [ambient el…
