The cenH3 histone variant defines centromeres in Giardia intestinalis.

Chromosoma - 1 Apr 2007

Dawson S C, Sagolla M S, Cande W Z

Abstract excerpt

Histone H3 variants play critical roles in the functional specialization of chromatin by epigenetically marking centromeric chromatin and transcriptionally active or silent genes. Specifically, the cenH3 histone variant acts as the primary epigenetic determinant of the site of kinetochore assembly at centromeres. Although the function of histone variants is well studied in plants, animals, and fungi, there is...
