Histone H1 Promotes Silencing of Unintegrated HIV-1 DNA
2025-11-07
Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is packaged into chromatin with nucleosomes formed by core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, and further stabilized by the linker histone H1. During the early stages of retroviral infection, such as with murine leukemia virus (MLV) and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), host core and H1 histones are rapidly deposited onto unintegrated viral DNAs upon nuclear entry. These uni...
