== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H2B1_YEAST H2B1_YEAST] 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.<ref>PMID:11973294</ref> <ref>PMID:12152067</ref> <ref>PMID:14752010</ref> <ref>PMID:15280549</ref> <ref>PMID:15652479</ref> <ref>PMID:15970663</ref> <ref>PMID:15632126</ref> <ref>PMID:15632065</ref> <ref>PMID:16598039</ref> [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H2A1_YEAST H2A1_YEAST] Core component of nucleosome which plays a central role in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The multisubunit chromatin remodeler SWR1/SRCAP/p400 replaces the nucleosomal H2A-H2B dimer with the free-form H2A.Z-H2B dimer, but the mechanism governing the unidirectional H2A-to-H2A.Z exchange remains elusive. Here, we perform single-molecule force spectroscopy to dissect the disassembly/reassembly processes of the H2A nucleosome and H2A.Z nucleosome. We find that the N-terminal 1-135 residues of yeast SWR1 complex protein 2 (previously termed Swc2-Z) facilitate the disassembly of nucleosomes containing H2A but not H2A.Z. The Swc2-mediated nucleosome disassembly/reassembly requires the inherently unstable H2A nucleosome, whose instability is conferred by three H2A alpha2-helical residues, Gly47, Pro49, and Ile63, as they selectively weaken the structural rigidity of the H2A-H2B dimer. It also requires Swc2-ZN (residues 1-37) that directly anchors to the H2A nucleosome and functions in the SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro and yeast H2A.Z deposition in vivo. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into how the SWR1 complex discriminates between the H2A nucleosome and H2A.Z nucleosome, establishing a simple paradigm for the governance of unidirectional H2A.Z exchange.

Recognition of the inherently unstable H2A nucleosome by Swc2 is a major determinant for unidirectional H2A.Z exchange.,Dai L, Xiao X, Pan L, Shi L, Xu N, Zhang Z, Feng X, Ma L, Dou S, Wang P, Zhu B, Li W, Zhou Z Cell Rep. 2021 May 25;35(8):109183. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109183.
