Histone H1 is responsible for producing compacted chromatin by linking the nucleosomes together through the DNA linker region. If histone H1 is selectively extracted, the linker DNA becomes more accessible to nucleases which will break the DNA and result in the uncoiling of chromatin to form a more extended beaded filament.
