Agarwal S, Behe M J
Abstract excerpt
Yeast histone H4 has been mutagenized at several positions which participate in the globular core of the nucleosome. The native protein contains residues at those positions which are invariant or highly conserved over all known H4 sequences, whether from yeast, Tetrahymena or higher eukaryotes. Nonetheless the protein is tolerant of non-conservative mutations. At the level of cell function the mutant proteins...
