Journal ArticleDOI

Histone H1 Depletion in Mammals Alters Global Chromatin Structure but Causes Specific Changes in Gene Regulation

TL;DR: Results indicate that linker histones can participate in epigenetic regulation of gene expression by contributing to the maintenance or establishment of specific DNA methylation patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ring1B Compacts Chromatin Structure and Represses Gene Expression Independent of Histone Ubiquitination

TL;DR: It is suggested that Ring1B-mediated chromatin compaction acts to directly limit transcription in vivo and to restore a compact chromatin state and to repress Hox gene expression is not dependent on its histone ubiquitination activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of linker histone in chromatin structure and function: H1 stoichiometry and nucleosome repeat length

TL;DR: It is clear that the 1 H1 per nucleosome paradigm for higher eukaryotes is the exception rather than the rule, and this prompts a reappraisal of the role of linker histone as an obligatory chromatin architectural protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

H1 linker histones are essential for mouse development and affect nucleosome spacing in vivo.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the total amount of H1 is crucial for proper embryonic development and inactivating the genes for three mouse H1 subtypes showed that linker histones are essential for mammalian development.
