Abstract excerpt
We have reported earlier the occurrence of a specific histone H2B variant in human testis and sperm. Here we have structurally characterized this protein, its association with the rest of the histone octamer, and its effects on the nucleosome structure. We show that a reconstituted octamer consisting of hTSH2B and a stoichiometric complement of histones H2A, H3, and H4 exhibits a lower stability compared to the...
