Acetylation of rat testis histones H2B and TH2B

The in vivo acetylation of rat testis histones H3 and H4 has been demonstrated in previous studies. In this study, analysis of purified histone fractions revealed the in vivo acetylation of histone H2B, the testis histone variant designated TH2B, and two or more of the histone H2A variants. These fi...

Zusammenfassung:	The in vivo acetylation of rat testis histones H3 and H4 has been demonstrated in previous studies. In this study, analysis of purified histone fractions revealed the in vivo acetylation of histone H2B, the testis histone variant designated TH2B, and two or more of the histone H2A variants. These findings are quite significant, because it is possible that all of the core histones are acetylated in elongating spermatids at the time of removal of the entire histone complement for replacement by basic spermatidal transition proteins ( S. R. Grimes and N. Henderson, 1983, Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 221, 108–116 ).
