Abstract
The packaging of DNA into chromatin creates a number of significant barriers to the detection of DNA lesions and their timely and accurate repair. Eukaryotic cells have evolved a number of enzymes that modulate chromatin structure and facilitate DNA repair. Recent research illustrates how nucleosome remodelling enzymes cooperate with both DNA-damage-inducible and constitutive histone modifications to promote many facets of the cellular response to DNA damage.
