The histone variant H2A.Z is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to vertebrates. H2A.Z regulates gene expression when localized to promoter region. Recently, we identified two genes encoding H2A.Z, H2
At least six histone H1 variants exist in mammalian somatic cells that bind to the linker DNA and stabilize the nucleosome particle contributing to higher order chromatin compaction. In addition, H1 s
