'''Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding proteins''' (CHD) remodel chromatin and histone deacylation thus affecting transcription. Chromatin regulation involves the tightness of packing of DNA. When DNA is tightly packed, gene expression is slower. CHDs contain several domains such as chromodomain which is found in proteins involved in chromatin remodeling, PHD zinc finger which has Cys4-His-Cys3 motif and BRK domain which is associated with chromodomains.<ref>PMID:9326634</ref><br /> | '''Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding proteins''' (CHD) remodel chromatin and histone deacylation thus affecting transcription.
