NAP1-RELATED PROTEIN1 and 2 negatively regulate H2A.Z abundance in chromatin in Arabidopsis

The histone variant H2A.Z is deposited by the SWR1 complex to replace H2A in Arabidopsis, but the mechanism of H2A.Z removal is unclear. Here, the authors show that NRP proteins can regulate gene expression by counteracting SWR1 and prevent excessive accumulation of H2A.Z.
