Emerging roles of linker histones in regulating chromatin structure and function

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 192 (2018). doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.94 Authors: Dmitry V. Fyodorov, Bing-Rui Zhou, Arthur I. Skoultchi & Yawen Bai Together with core histones, which make up the nucleosome, the linker histone (H1) is one of the five main histone protein families present in chromatin in eukaryotic cells. H1 binds to the nucleosome to form the next structural unit of metazoan chromatin, the chromatosome, which
