Core histone macro-H2A.1 (Q9QZQ8)

Uniprot ID Q9QZQ8
Protein Name Core histone macro-H2A.1
Gene Name H2afy
Species Mus musculus (Mouse)
Signal peptide(a) N Secretome P(b) 0.454
Function Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes where it represses transcription. 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. Involved in stable X chromosome inactivation. Inhibits the binding of transcription factors, including NF-kappa-B, and interferes with the activity of remodeling SWI/SNF complexes (By similarity). Inhibits histone acetylation by EP300 and recruits class I HDACs, which induces a hypoacetylated state of chromatin (By similarity) (PubMed:16107708). .Isoform 1: Binds ADP-ribose and O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, and may be involved in ADP-ribose-mediated chromatin modulation (By similarity). Increases the expression of genes involved in redox metabolism, including SOD3 (PubMed:23022728). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23022728}.Isoform 2: Represses SOD3 gene expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23022728}.
