Together with core histones, which make up the nucleosome, the linker histone (H1) is one
of the five main histone protein families present in chromatin in eukaryotic cells. H1 binds to …

The histone variant H2A. Z is involved in several processes such as transcriptional control,
DNA repair, regulation of centromeric heterochromatin and, not surprisingly, is implicated in …

Chromatin is organized into higher-order structures that form subcompartments in
interphase nuclei. Different categories of specialized enzymes act on chromatin and …

Histone variants endow chromatin with unique properties and show a specific genomic
distribution that is regulated by specific deposition and removal machineries. These variants …

Chromatin is a dynamic structure that must respond to myriad stimuli to regulate access to
DNA, and chemical modification of histones is a major means by which the cell modulates …

Histones package and compact DNA by assembling into nucleosome core particles. Most
histones are synthesized at S phase for rapid deposition behind replication forks. In addition …

The function of sperm is to safely transport the haploid paternal genome to the egg
containing the maternal genome. The subsequent fertilization leads to transmission of a new …

Marine organisms' persistence hinges on the capacity for acclimatization and adaptation to
the myriad of interacting environmental stressors associated with global climate change. In …

Genome packaging by nucleosomes is a hallmark of eukaryotes. Histones and the pathways
that deposit, remove, and read histone modifications are deeply conserved. Yet, we lack …

Histone variants play crucial roles in gene expression, genome integrity, and chromosome
segregation. We report that the four H2A variants in Arabidopsis define different genomic …
