ジャーナル: Nucleic Acids Res / 年: 2025 タイトル: H2B.W2, a spermatocyte-specific histone variant, disrupts nucleosome stability, and reduces chromatin compaction. 著者: April T T Nguyen / Dongbo Ding / Xingpeng Bai / Matthew Y H Pang / Mingxi Deng / Yue Liu / Tingyu Jin / Zhichun Xu / Yingyi Zhang / Yuanliang Zhai / Yan Yan / Toyotaka Ishibashi / 要旨: Spermatogenesis is a highly regulated process that requires precise chromatin remodeling, which includes the incorporation of testis-specific histone variants.

While several of these variants have been characterized, the role of H2B.W2, a member of the H2BW family, remains largely unclear. Here, we showed that H2B.W2 expression occurs mainly in spermatocytes, slightly later than its paralog H2B.W1. Cryo-electron microscopy analysis of H2B.W2-containing nucleosomes reveals a more relaxed conformation compared to canonical nucleosomes caused by weakened interactions between the outer DNA turn and the histone core. We pinpointed the N-terminal tail and α2 helix of H2B.W2 as critical regions for nucleosome destabilization. Furthermore, we identify G73 within the L1 loop as a key residue involved in disrupting higher-order chromatin structure. Our findings suggest that H2B.W2-mediated nucleosome and chromatin destabilization may play a role in regulating gene expression during spermatogenesis, with potential implications for sperm development and function.
