Histones are the protein molecules around which DNA is tightly coiled in chromatin. They help organize and condense DNA within the cell's nucleus, allowing for efficient packaging of genetic material. Histones play a key role in gene regulation and overall chromosomal structure.

What is histone mRNA?

Histone mRNA is a type of messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries the genetic information for the synthesis of histone proteins. Unlike typical mRNAs, histone mRNAs lack a poly-A tail and are rapidly degraded after histone protein synthesis is complete. They play a crucial role in packaging DNA into chromatin structure.
