Abstract
SEVERAL lines of evidence have implicated the proteins associated with the nuclear DNA of eukaryotic cells in the control of differential gene expression1-6. In contrast to the histones of eukaryotic chromatin which are relatively conserved in both primary structure and distribution across cell types within an organism, and from species to species4, the non-histone chromosomal proteins are very variable in size and distribution. This lends weight to the presumption that they are the specific regulators of transcription5,6.
