Function
[H2B1_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.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [CHZ1_YEAST] Forms a chaperone-bound H2A.Z-H2B complex that acts as a source for SWR1 complex-dependent H2A to H2A.Z histone replacement in chromatin.[10]
