Histone sequence variation in divergent eukaryotes facilitates diversity in chromatin packaging

2021-05-14

Abstract excerpt

The histone proteins defining nucleosome structure are highly conserved in common model organisms and are frequently portrayed as uniform chromatin building blocks. We surveyed over 1700 complete eukaryotic genomes and confirm that almost all encode recognisable canonical core histones. Nevertheless, divergent eukaryotes show unrecognised diversity in histone sequences and offer an opportunity to observe the poten...
