As its name suggests, the fifth histone is associated with the linker DNA that extends between nucleosomal core particles. We will use the name 'linker histone' to include all the closely related ...

Recent evidences show that acetylation or methylation of histone proteins can alter the ... of the in vitro nucleosome reconstitution, the linker histones-depleted oligo-nucleosomes were prepared ...

They have been known to influence genetic expression by, for example, providing structure, organization and folding of DNA, but this paper is the first to demonstrate that a linker histone is also ...

but this paper is the first to demonstrate that a linker histone is also directly regulating gene expression as a transcription factor. “In the past, people always thought that linker histones play an ...
