Variant histone H2A.Z is globally localized to the promoters of inactive yeast genes and regulates nucleosome positioning.
H2A.Z is an evolutionary conserved histone variant involved in transcriptional regulation, antisilencing, silencing, and genome stability. The mechanism(s) by which H2A.Z regulates these various biological functions remains poorly defined, in part due to the lack of knowledge regarding its physical...
