The #histone variant H2A.Z is key to neurodevelopment—but how is it placed at the right #genes? This new study from @gildastef.bsky.social‬ shows how SRCAP ensures proper H2A.Z loading during neuronal differentiation

As Canada approaches the upcoming election, we must stress the importance of research that addresses the needs of all Canadians. Unfortunately, none of the political parties have included statements about research in their platforms.

We show that during neuronal differentiation of N2A, H2A.Z is initially removed but later reincorporated. In SRCAP knockdown cells, this reincorporation is impaired, highlighting SRCAP’s essential role in depositing H2A.Z during neurodevelopment. #SRCAP #Neurodevelopment #FloatingHarborSyndrome
