==Function==

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H2B2_YEAST H2B2_YEAST]] 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.<ref>PMID:12152067</ref> <ref>PMID:14752010</ref> <ref>PMID:15280549</ref> <ref>PMID:15652479</ref> <ref>PMID:15970663</ref> <ref>PMID:15632065</ref> <ref>PMID:16598039</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H2A2_YEAST H2A2_YEAST]] Core component of nucleosome which plays a central role in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. 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.<ref>PMID:11140636</ref> <ref>PMID:15458641</ref> <ref>PMID:15610741</ref> <ref>PMID:16299494</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SIR3_YEAST SIR3_YEAST]] The proteins SIR1 through SIR4 are required for transcriptional repression of the silent mating type loci, HML and HMR. The proteins SIR2 through SIR4 repress mulitple loci by modulating chromatin structure. Involves the compaction of chromatin fiber into a more condensed form.
