About This Section

EntrezGene summary for H2BFWT:
Testis-specific histones, like H2BFWT, are synthesized and accumulate at specific stages of
mammalian spermatogenesis. Their proposed functions range from facilitation of the replacement of
somatic histones by protamines to epigenetic control of gene transcription (Churikov et al., 2004
[PubMed 15475252]).[supplied by OMIM]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H2BWT_HUMAN, Q7Z2G1
Function: Atypical histone H2B. Nucleosomes containing it are structurally and dynamically
indistinguishable from those containing conventional H2B. However, unlike conventional H2B, does
not recruit chromosome condensation factors and does not participate in the assembly of mitotic
chromosomes. May be important for telomere function

About This Section

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H2BWT_HUMAN, Q7Z2G1 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Histone H2B type W-T  
Size: 175 amino acids; 19618 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. The octamer wraps
approximately 147 bp of DNA
Subcellular location: Nucleus membrane
Miscellaneous: In contrast to other H2B histones, it does not contain the conserved residue in
C-terminus that is the target of monoubiquitination
Miscellaneous: Ortholog in primates, but not in rodents
Secondary accessions: B1AK72 Q147W3
