Abstract excerpt
H1 linker histones are involved in facilitating the folding of chromatin into a 30-nm fiber. Mice contain eight H1 subtypes that differ in amino acid sequence and expression during development. Previous work showed that mice lacking H1(0), the most divergent subtype, develop normally. Examination of chromatin in H1(0-/-) mice showed that other H1s, especially H1c, H1d, and H1e, compensate for the loss of H1(0) to...
