Previously Unidentified Histone H1-Like Protein Is Involved in Cell Division and Ribosome Biosynthesis in Toxoplasma gondii
5 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Histone H1, or linker histone, is an important protein that binds to the nucleosome, aiding chromatin compaction. Here, we characterize for the first time a linker histone in T. gondii, named TgH1-like. It is a small and basic protein that corresponds only to the C-terminal portion of the human H1 but is similar to histone H1 from trypanosomatids and bacteria. TgH1-like is located in the nucleus, interacts with...
