Histone N-terminal domains play critical roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene transcription. Relatively little is known, however, about the role of the histone H2A N-terminal domain in transcription regulation. We have used DNA microarrays to characterize the changes in genome-wide expression caused by mutations in the N-terminal domain of histone H2A. Our results indicate that the N-terminal domain of histone H2A functions primarily to repress the transcription of a large subset of ...[more]
