A histone variant condenses flowering plant sperm via chromatin phase separation

2021-09-14

Abstract excerpt

Sperm chromatin is typically transformed by protamines into a compact and transcriptionally inactive state. Flowering plant sperm cells lack protamines, yet have small, transcriptionally active nuclei with chromatin condensed by an unknown mechanism. Here we show that a histone variant, H2B.8, mediates sperm chromatin and nuclear condensation in Arabidopsis thaliana . Loss of H2B.8 causes enlarged sperm nuclei wi...
