Summary: Histones are basic nuclear proteins responsible for nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H1 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

What's a GeneRIF?

In H1t-GFP transgenic mice, the H1t-GFP (H1 histone testis-green fluorescence protein) fusion protein expression recapitulates the endogenous H1t expression pattern. This protein appears first in mid pachytene spermatocytes in stage V seminiferous tubules, persists in round spermatids and elongating spermatids, but is absent in elongated spermatids.
Title: A rat H1t-GFP transgene recapitulates endogenous H1t expression pattern in mouse.
Imaging analysis indicated that H1T expression affected nucleolar formation. We concluded that H1T plays a role in rDNA transcription, by distinctively targeting rDNA repeats.
Title: Linker histone variant H1T targets rDNA repeats.
it appears that not the order of up-phosphorylation but the number of the phosphate groups is necessary for regulated chromatin decondensation, thus facilitating the substitution of H1t by transition proteins and protamines.
Title: Testis-specific linker histone H1t is multiply phosphorylated during spermatogenesis. Identification of phosphorylation sites.
Mutation of TE1 subelement leads to a drop in H1t promoter activity; mutation of TE2 subelement increased promoter activity in two of four cell lines.
Title: TE2 and TE1 sub-elements of the testis-specific histone H1t promoter are functionally different.
RFX2 is strongly expressed in pachytene spermatocytes, remains high in early round spermatids, and declines only in advance of nuclear condensation. Maximum expression correlates well with the appearance of H1t.
Title: RFX2 is a potential transcriptional regulatory factor for histone H1t and other genes expressed during the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis.
H1t is not replaced during spermatogenesis by H1.1 or H1.2 expression in H1t knock out mice.
Title: Histone H1t is not replaced by H1.1 or H1.2 in pachytene spermatocytes or spermatids of H1t-deficient mice.
Analysis of DNA-induced secondary structure of the carboxyl-terminal domain of histone H1 subtypes H1(0)(C-H1(0)) and H1t (C-H1t).

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.
