Entrez Gene summary for HIST1H4A Gene:

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in

eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which

approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts

with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures.

This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA

tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster

on chromosome 6. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for HIST1H4A Gene:

HIST1H4A (histone cluster 1, H4a) is a protein-coding gene. An important paralog of this gene is HIST1H4E.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H4_HUMAN, P62805

Function: Core component of nucleosome. 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

Post-translational modifications:

Acetylation at Lys-6 (H4K5ac), Lys-9 (H4K8ac), Lys-13 (H4K12ac) and Lys-17 (H4K16ac) occurs in coding regions of

the genome but not in heterochromatin¹

Citrullination at Arg-4 (H4R3ci) by PADI4 impairs methylation¹

Monomethylation and asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-4 (H4R3me1 and H4R3me2a, respectively) by PRMT1 favors

acetylation at Lys-9 (H4K8ac) and Lys-13 (H4K12ac). Demethylation is performed by JMJD6. Symmetric dimethylation

on Arg-4 (H4R3me2s) by the PRDM1/PRMT5 complex may play a crucial role in the germ-cell lineage¹

Monomethylated, dimethylated or trimethylated at Lys-21 (H4K20me1, H4K20me2, H4K20me3). Monomethylation is

performed by SET8. Trimethylation is performed by SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 and induces gene silencing¹

Phosphorylated by PAK2 at Ser-48 (H4S47ph). This phosphorylation increases the association of H3.3-H4 with the

histone chaperone HIRA, thus promoting nucleosome assembly of H3.3-H4 and inhibiting nucleosome assembly of

H3.1-H4¹

Ubiquitinated by the CUL4-DDB-RBX1 complex in response to ultraviolet irradiation. This may weaken the interaction

between histones and DNA and facilitate DNA accessibility to repair proteins. Monoubiquitinated at Lys-92 of

histone H4 (H4K91ub1) in response to DNA damage. The exact role of H4K91ub1 in DNA damage response is still

unclear but it may function as a licensing signal for additional histone H4 post-translational modifications such

as H4 Lys-21 methylation (H4K20me)¹

Sumoylated, which is associated with transcriptional repression¹

Crotonylation (Kcr) is specifically present in male germ cells and marks testis-specific genes in post-meiotic

cells, including X-linked genes that escape sex chromosome inactivation in haploid cells. Crotonylation marks

active promoters and enhancers and confers resistance to transcriptional repressors. It is also associated with

post-meiotically activated genes on autosomes¹
