HHT3 | Histone H3.3; 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 (By similarity). (136 aa) | ||||
HHT21 | Histone H3.1/H3.2; 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 (By similarity). (136 aa) | ||||
SIR2 | NAD-dependent histone deacetylase SIR2; NAD-dependent deacetylase. Heterochromatin component that silences transcription at silent mating loci, telomeres and the ribosomal DNA, and that also suppresses recombination in the rDNA and extends replicative life span. It acts as a NAD-dependent histone deacetylase, which deacetylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-14' of Histone H3 and 'Lys-16' of Histone H4. Functions in the distribution of oxidatively damaged proteins during cell division. Mediates phenotypic switching. (519 aa) |
