FRAP analysis of maternal histones in GV oocytes and early embryos. a FRAP recovery curves of maternally expressed H3.3-eGFP or H2B-mCherry in parental genomes at early zygote stage. Mean ± s.e.m. b Compilation of histone mobilities determined by FRAP of maternally expressed H3.3-eGFP (left) and H2B-mCherry (right) in GV oocytes, 1C-early (male), 1C-early (female), 1C-late (male), 1C-late (female), 2C-early and 2C-late embryos. Mean of 8-15 ± s.e.m. c Chromatin compaction was determined by nuclear volume per haploid genome during development from GV oocytes to late 2-cell embryos. Mean of 5 ± s.e.m. d Linear regression analysis of histone dynamics and nuclear size indicates that mobility of H3.3 instead of H2B correlates linearly with chromatin compaction status
