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:11859126</ref> <ref>PMID:12860195</ref> <ref>PMID:15019208</ref> Has broad antibacterial activity.

| + | H2A.Bbd, the most divergent histone variant among all known H2A type histones, is involved in gene transcription, spermiogenesis, DNA replication and RNA splicing. Incorporation of H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer, a fundamental unit of H2A.Bbd nucleosome, modulate structures of nucleosome or chromatin, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we determined a crystal structure of H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer at 2.6A resolution. Although the H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer structure largely resembles that of H2A-H2B, substitution of H2A alphaC helix residues by H2A.Bbd counterparts lead to the transition of a long alphaC-helix to the short 310-helix, likely owing to the rearrangement of the hydrogen-bond network. Moreover, structural comparison revealed a strikingly altered electrostatic potential surface for H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer displaying a diminished DNA binding capability. Our study provides the first high-resolution structure of histone variant H2A.Bbd and shed a light on biological function of H2A.Bbd. | ||
