背景介绍
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 replication-independent member of
the histone H2A family that is distinct from other members of the
family. Studies in mice have shown that this particular histone is
required for embryonic development and indicate that lack of
functional histone H2A leads to embryonic lethality. [provided by

Nucleus. Chromosome.
功能
Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of 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. May be involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin. May be required for chromosome segregation during cell division.
