Target

  • Function

    Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. 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. May be involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin. May be required for chromosome segregation during cell division.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the histone H2A family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Monoubiquitination of Lys-122 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression.
    Acetylated on Lys-5, Lys-8 and Lys-12 during interphase. Acetylation disappears at mitosis.
    Monomethylated on Lys-5 and Lys-8 by SETD6. SETD6 predominantly methylates Lys-8, lys-5 being a possible secondary site.
    Not phosphorylated.

    Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol*. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes.
    The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 2 µg of ab150402 (red), and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. 2 µg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (gray). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci).
    Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
