SSRP1-mediated histone H1 eviction promotes replication origin assembly and accelerated development

During embryonic development, it is vital to maintain rapid genome duplication. Here, the authors shed light on the mechanism by revealing that SSRP1 stimulates replication origin assembly on somatic nuclei in Xenopus laevis egg extract by promoting histone H1 eviction from somatic chromatin.
