Histone H1 and the evolution of protamines

Lewis, John David MacLean (2017-04-21)

It has been proposed that protamines have evolved vertically from an ancestral histone H1. My research has concentrated mainly on the investigation of this proposal by characterizing the sperm nuclear basic proteins ...
The role of the histone tails and their post-translational modifications in nucleosome stability and chromatin folding

Moore, Susan Catherine (2018-11-21)

The purpose of this thesis was to characterize the impact of the histone tails and their posttranslational modifications on nucleosome stability and chromatin folding dynamics. This was done with a variety of techniques, ...
The structural role of histone H2A variants in chromatin function

Abbott, D. Wade (2008-04-10)

Chromatin is a highly dynamic complex that facilitates the structural transitions required for specific gene expression. An emerging player in the regulation of such chromatin functions are histone H2A variants. These ...
