regulatory sequence
text structure 5′ flanking regions contain putative TATA boxes and cAMP-response elements (CREs), but the TATA boxes and CREs exhibit gene-specific sequences, and an overwhelming majority of CREs differ from the consensus sequence

basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in chromatin condensation during spermiogenesis
  • conversion of nucleosomal chromatin to the compact, nonnucleosomal form found in the sperm nucleus is associated with the appearance of a small set of basic chromosomal transition proteins
  • basic chromosomal proteins that replace the histones during chromatin remodeling
