Histone H2A is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. The other histone proteins are: H1, H2B...

which are designated H1/H5 (linker histones), H2, H3, and H4 (core histones). The nucleosome core is formed of two H2A-H2B dimers and a H3-H4 tetramer....

proteins called histones, which are known as a histone octamer. Each histone octamer is composed of two copies each of the histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and...

Histone variants are proteins that substitute for the core canonical histones (H3, H4, H2A, H2B) in nucleosomes in eukaryotes and often confer specific...

Histone H2A.Z is a protein that in humans is encoded by the H2AZ1 gene. Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure...

H2A, H-2A or H-IIA can refer to: Histone H2A, a component of DNA higher structure in eukaryotic cells H-IIA, a family of Japanese rockets. H-2A Visa, a...

histone-DNA interactions. Two copies of histone H2B come together with two copies each of histone H2A, histone H3, and histone H4 to form the octamer core of the...

core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The octamer assembles when a tetramer, containing two copies of H3 and two of H4, complexes with two H2A/H2B...

H2A histone family member X (usually abbreviated as H2AX) is a type of histone protein from the H2A family encoded by the H2AFX gene. An important phosphorylated...

and chromodomains, and they are found to acetylate lysine residues on histones H2A, H3, and H4. Several MYST family proteins contain zinc fingers as well...
