Histone H1o ribosomal RNA synthesis and cell differentiation.
It is proposed that histone H1o prevents binding of the rRNA transcription factor UBF to regulatory sequences of the rRNA gene. This has a role in reducing rRNA synthesis and inhibiting cell proliferation. This affords the opportunity for other mechanisms to promote cell differentiation.
