Abstract excerpt
In Tetrahymena cells, constitutive phosphorylation of histone H1 phenocopies the loss of H1 from chromatin. Regulation of transcription by H1 phosphorylation is achieved by altering the overall charges of a small domain. Here, we further explore the electrostatic properties of this domain and the mechanism by which it regulates transcription. We demonstrate that the regulatory effect of the clustered charges does...
