Abstract
Histone H1 is know to play a role in the formation and maintenance of higher-order chromatin structure. It has been recently suggested that the linker histone might be also involved in the regulation of the activity of individual genes. If H1 is a regulatory factor in eukaryotic gene transcription, it should possess specificity of binding to defined DNA sequences. This review is an attempt to summarize and discuss the existing literature data on DNA sequence-specific interactions of histone H1.Mesh:
