Normal Spermatogenesis in Mice Lacking the Testis-Specific Linker Histone H1t
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
H1 histones bind to linker DNA and nucleosome core particles and facilitate the folding of chromatin into a more compact structure. Mammals contain seven nonallelic subtypes of H1, including testis-specific subtype H1t, which varies considerably in primary sequence from the other H1 subtypes. H1t is found only in pachytene spermatocytes and early, haploid spermatids, constituting as much as 55% of the linker...
