Structural highlights 2f8n is a 10 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Xenopus laevis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.9Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function H2B3A_MOUSE 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.
