The primary structure of histone H4 from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
1. The complete amino acid sequence of histone H4 from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been established. 2. The polypeptide chain consists of 102 amino acids and has a completely alpha-N-blocked serine at residue 1. 3. The sequence differs from vertebrate H4 in position 73 by substitution of cysteine for threonine. 4. Lysine in position 20 is monomethylated.
