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 and interferes with the activity of remodeling SWI/SNF complexes. Inhibits histone acetylation by EP300 and recruits class I HDACs, which induces a hypoacetylated state of chromatin. In addition, isoform 1, but not isoform 2, binds ADP-ribose and O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, and may be involved in ADP-ribose-mediated chromatin modulation.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Histone macroH2A is a hallmark of mammalian heterochromatin. Here we show that human macroH2A1.1 binds the SirT1-metabolite O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPR) through its macro domain. The 1.6-A crystal structure and mutants reveal how the metabolite is recognized. Mutually exclusive exon use in the gene H2AFY produces macroH2A1.2, whose tissue distribution differs. MacroH2A1.2 shows only subtle structural changes but cannot bind nucleotides. Alternative splicing may thus regulate the binding of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolites to chromatin.
