Histone H2A type 1 (HIST1H2AM)

The protein contains 130 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 14091 Da.

 

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. (updated: Sept. 12, 2018)

MAPPING

By analysis of a YAC contig from chromosome 6p22-p21.3, Albig and Doenecke (1997) characterized a second cluster of 16 histone genes, including H2A/c, located 2 Mb centromeric to the major histone gene cluster. By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) determined that the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21, which they called histone gene cluster-1 (HIST1), contains 55 histone genes, including HIST1H2AI.
