In stem cells, H4 proteins carrying different modifications coexist within single nucleosomes. For functional studies, we report the synthesis of such asymmetric nucleosomes. Asymmetry is achieved by transiently crosslinking H4 by a traceless, protease-removable tag introduced via an isopeptide linkage. These nucleosomes are used to study Set8 activity, a key methyltransferase.
