摘要: During embryogenesis, differentiation of skeletal muscle is regulated by transcription factors that include members the Msx homeoprotein family. By investigating Msx1 function in repression myogenic gene expression, we identified a physical interaction between and H1b, specific isoform mouse histone H1. We found H1b bind to key regulatory element MyoD , central regulator differentiation, where they induce repressed chromatin. Moreover, cooperate inhibit cell culture Xenopus animal caps. Our findings define previously unknown for “linker” histones gene-specific transcriptional regulation.
