Research areas 

Chromatin and Nuclear Signaling >> Histones >> Variants

Relevance 

Htz1 is the yeast version of H2A.Z, which functions in euchromatin to antagonize the spread of heterochromatin. The mechanism by which histone H2A is replaced by H2A.Z in the nucleosome is unknown. However, the recently isolated SWR1 complex catalyzes an ATP-dependent histone exchange with specificity for the histone variant H2A.Z. This provides a new theme in chromatin remodeling mechanisms and an explanation of how histone variants are incorporated into the nucleosome outside of S phase. In connection with the isolation of histone variant specific chaperone complexes, we are beginning to see the mechanisms that mix the histone octamer with intriguing implications for epigenetic inheritance.

During early mammalian development H2A.Z plays an essential, but unknown, function(s). It has been shown (Rangasamy et al., 2003) that undifferentiated mouse cells of the inner cell mass lack H2A.Z, but upon differentiation H2A.Z expression is switched on. Strikingly, H2A.Z is first targeted to pericentric hetero chromatin and then to other regions of the nucleus, but is excluded from the inactive X chromosome and the nucleolus.
