What specific protein binds/holds DNA together?

Question

What's the protein that holds/bonds/or binds protein together? Please provide a source or if you don't have one, please make sure it's correct,D:. Thanks!

Answer 1

DNA-binding proteins include transcription factors which modulate the process of transcription, nucleases which cleave DNA molecules, and histones which are involved in DNA packaging in the cell nucleus. DNA-binding proteins can incorporate such DNA-binding domains as the zinc finger, the helix-turn-helix, and the leucine zipper (among many others).

Answer 2

Histones are the proteins that hold dna together.

Answer 3

DNA polymerase.

The nucleotides in the nucleoplasm attach themselves to the existing strands of DNA (from the unwound double helix) by complementary base pairing. DNA polymerase joins these new nucleotides to each other with strong covalent bonds, forming the sugar-phosphate backbone.

Hope that helps!
