About This Section

EntrezGene summary for H2AFB3:
Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the
chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around
a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The
chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA
between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene encodes a member of
the histone H2A family. This gene is part of a region that is repeated three times on chromosome
X, once in intron 22 of the F8 gene and twice closer to the Xq telomere. This record represents
the most telomeric copy. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H2AB2_HUMAN, P0C5Z0
Function: Atypical histone H2A which can replace conventional H2A in some nucleosomes. Nucleosomes
wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which
require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA
repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex
set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome
remodeling. Nucleosomes containing this histone are less rigid and organize only 118 base pair of
DNA instead of 147 in classical nucleosomes. They are associated with transcriptionally active
chromatin and excluded form Barr bodies

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H2AB2_HUMAN, P0C5Z0 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Histone H2A-Bbd type 2/3  
Size: 115 amino acids; 12713 Da
Subunit: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4
assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. May be incorporated into a
proportion of nucleosomes, replacing one or more H2A molecules
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Note=Associated with the active X chromosome and with autosomes,
while it is absent from the inactive X chromosome and excluded from Barr bodies
Miscellaneous: In contrast to other H2A histones, it does not contain the conserved residues that
are the target of post-translational modifications
