Eukaryotic DNA is assembled into chromatin primarily through interaction with small basic proteins described as histones. There are two types of histone: the core histone (Ha H2B, H3 and H4) and the linker histone such as H1. Two molecules of each of the core histones form an octamer, around which is wrapped 146bp of DNA. The DNA that is in between nucleosome core particles is called linker DNA that is bound by the linker histones. To date, eight subtypes of H1 have been identified in mammals. Six of these are collectively termed the somatic subtypes and are designated Hla, Hlb, Hlc, Hld, Hle, and Hl(0). The seventh subtype is Hlt, which is expressed only in spermatocytes. We discovered a mammalian oocytespecific linker histone, Hlfoo, which is homologous to Xenopus oocyte-specific linker histone B4”. A shift in the expression of linker histone subtype expression appears to be a great feature of early embryonic development. There are several examples of the association of a specific linker histone H1 expression with particular transitions during development. In sea urchin, there are at least six different H1 subtypes. A cleavage stage H1 (cs-Hl). constitutes the major form of linker histone during the rapid cellular divisions after fertilization. The several hundreds copies of the alpha subtype are then expressed in early embryogenesis and this expression
