Answer:

Histone proteins.

Explanation:

Histones are known as the special type of proteins which are +ve charged and low molecular in weight. They are highly basic proteins and containing basic amino acids such as arginine and lysine. Histones are +ve charged proteins and DNA is -ve charged in nature, due to the presence of phosphate groups in DNA backbone, histones bind with DNA very tightly and form a complex known as Nucleosome.

The Nucleosome is known as the fundamental unit of DNA packaging which is composed of an Octameric core of histone proteins (two each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) around which the double helix of DNA is wrapped.
