spt2

Gene
spt2
Protein
Protein spt2
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
406 amino acids
Function
Histone chaperone that stabilizes pre-existing histone tetramers and regulates replication-independent histone exchange on chromatin. Required for normal chromatin refolding in the coding region of transcribed genes, and for the suppression of spurious transcription. Global regulatory protein that plays positive as well as negative regulatory roles in transcription.
Similarity
Belongs to the SPT2 family.
