Abstract excerpt
During mammalian spermatogenesis, somatic histones are replaced by testis-specific variants. The synthesis of the variants occurs primarily in the germ cells undergoing meiosis in the absence of DNA replication. We have cloned the genes encoding rat somatic and testis-specific H2A (TH2A) histones. The two genes share 300 bp of 5' upstream region with respective H2B genes: somatic H2A with somatic H2B and...
