The core of the histones H2A and H2B can also be modified. Combinations of modifications, known as histone marks, are thought to constitute a code, the so-called "histone code". [32] [33] Histone modifications act in diverse biological processes such as gene regulation, DNA repair, chromosome condensation and spermatogenesis . [34]
Both tails are the location of post-translational modification. Thus far, researchers have not identified any secondary structures that arise in the tails. H2A utilizes a protein fold known as the ‘histone fold’. The histone fold is a three-helix core domain that is connected by two loops. This connection forms a ‘handshake arrangement.’
Histone H2A type 1-C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIST1H2AC gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes .
Histone H3.1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the H3C1 gene. [5] [6] [7] Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. This structure consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a nucleosome, an octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core ...
Histone tails and their function in chromatin formation. Nucleosomes are portions of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that are wrapped around protein complexes called histone cores. These histone cores are composed of 8 subunits, two each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 histones. This protein complex forms a cylindrical shape that dsDNA wraps around with ...
Histone H2B type 1-M is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIST1H2BM gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes.

Each histone octamer is composed of two copies each of the histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. DNA must be compacted into nucleosomes to fit within the cell nucleus . [ 2 ] In addition to nucleosome wrapping, eukaryotic chromatin is further compacted by being folded into a series of more complex structures, eventually forming a chromosome .
