Abstract excerpt

H2A.Z is an evolutionarily highly conserved non-allelic variant of histone H2A. H2A.Z and its homologues have been shown to involve in both chromatin silencing and activation. Although much of our knowledge of H2A.Z biological activity has come from studies on its yeast homologue Htz1, H2A.Z appears to have more complex and diverse functions in higher eukaryotes. To investigate the involvement of H2AvD, a...
