Abstract excerpt
In Tetrahymena, HHT1 and HHT2 genes encode the same major histone H3; HHT3 and HHT4 encode similar minor H3 variants (H3s), H3.3 and H3.4. Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged H3 is deposited onto chromatin through a DNA replication-coupled (RC) pathway. GFP-tagged H3.3 and H3.4 can be deposited both by a transcription-associated, replication-independent (RI) pathway and also weakly by an RC pathway. Although...
