Abstract excerpt
Ustilago maydis is a haploid basidiomycete with single genes for two distinct histone H3 variants. The solitary U1 gene codes for H3.1, predicted to be a replication-independent replacement histone. The U2 gene is paired with histone H4 and produces a putative replication-coupled H3.2 variant. These predictions were evaluated experimentally. U2 was confirmed to be highly expressed in the S phase and had reduced...
