Os10g0418000

Gene
Os10g0418000
Protein
Probable histone H2A variant 2
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Length
139 amino acids
Function
Variant histones H2A are synthesized throughout the cell cycle and are very different from classical S-phase regulated H2A. May replace 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 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the histone H2A family.
