Abstract
Linker histones are a major determinant of chromatin condensation. We discu ss here the nature and position of the interaction of the globular domain o f histone H5 with the core nucleosome and the relevance of this positioning to chromatin structure and the regulation of transcription of the Xenopus borealis 5S rRNA genes.
