Abstract excerpt
Several genes for chromatin proteins are known in Archaea. These include histones and histone-like proteins in Euryarchaeota, and a DNA binding protein, Alba, which was first detected in the crenarchaeote Sulfolobus solfataricus and is thought to be involved in transcriptional regulation. The methanogenic archaeon Methanococcus voltae harbors four genes coding for all these three types of chromatin proteins....
