Abstract excerpt
The histone variant macroH2A is generally linked to transcriptionally inactive chromatin, but how macroH2A regulates chromatin structure and functions in the transcriptional process remains elusive. This study reveals that while the integration of human macroH2A1.2 into nucleosomes does not affect their stability or folding dynamics, it notably hinders the maintenance of facilitates chromatin transcription's...
