basic FUNCTION
| dynamic changes in chromatin structure through post-translational modifications of HIST3H3 during replication origin activation (Rampakakis 2009) |
|
playing a role in the compaction of DNA into nucleosomes |
|
may be assembled into the chromatin by a specific chaperone-mediated pathway in the testis (Tachiwana 2010) |
|
prominent property of the H3T nucleosome is its instability (Tachiwana 2010) |
|
may have a specific function in chromatin reorganization during meiosis and/or the postmeiotic maturation of male germ cells (Tachiwana 2010) |
|
specific biochemical and structural properties of the H3T nucleosome, like those containing the H2B variants, could also play an important epigenetic role in the regulation of genes containing nucleosomes in the sperm (Tachiwana 2010) |
