Dramatic replacement of histone variants during genome remodeling in nuclear-transferred embryos
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
The genome of differentiated somatic nuclei is remodeled to a totipotent state when they are transplanted into enucleated oocytes. To clarify the mechanism of this genome remodeling, we analyzed changes in the composition of core histone variants in nuclear-transferred embryos, since recent evidence has revealed that chromatin structure can be remodeled as a result of variant histone replacement. We found that...
