Abstract
A cDNA encoding a new H3 histone variant has been isolated from a Para centrotus lividus sea urchin embryo cDNA library. The encoded protein is identical to the H3.3 histone subtype identified in other species, with the difference that E replaces D at position 81. The clone corres ponds to a transcript of about 1.6 kb, not dependent on DNA replicatio n, present in the unfertilized egg and at all stages of embryonic deve lopment. The coding part of the cDNA cross-reacts also with a 0.5 kb H 3 late histone mRNA.
