Summary: Predicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity; histone binding activity; and nucleosomal DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromosome condensation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in male germ cell nucleus. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human H1-9P (H1.9 linker histone, pseudogene).

What's a GeneRIF?

Results show that HILS1 possesses significantly lower alpha-helicity compared to other linker histones but also show that HILS1 is a poor condenser of chromatin which demonstrate the idea that this particular linker histone variant may have distinct role in histone to protamine replacement.
Title: Spermatid-specific linker histone HILS1 is a poor condenser of DNA and chromatin and preferentially associates with LINE-1 elements.
Immunofluorescence studies demonstrate the presence of linker histone HILS1 and HILS1Y78p during different steps of spermiogenesis from early elongating to condensing spermatids.
Title: Mapping of post-translational modifications of spermatid-specific linker histone H1-like protein, HILS1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
