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. Has broad antibacterial activity. May contribute to the formation of the functional antimicrobial barrier of the colonic epithelium, and to the bactericidal activity of amniotic fluid. Publication Abstract from PubMed H2A.Bbd, the most divergent histone variant among all known H2A type histones, is involved in gene transcription, spermiogenesis, DNA replication and RNA splicing. Incorporation of H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer, a fundamental unit of H2A.Bbd nucleosome, modulate structures of nucleosome or chromatin, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we determined a crystal structure of H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer at 2.6A resolution. Although the H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer structure largely resembles that of H2A-H2B, substitution of H2A alphaC helix residues by H2A.Bbd counterparts lead to the transition of a long alphaC-helix to the short 310-helix, likely owing to the rearrangement of the hydrogen-bond network. Moreover, structural comparison revealed a strikingly altered electrostatic potential surface for H2A.Bbd-H2B dimer displaying a diminished DNA binding capability. Our study provides the first high-resolution structure of histone variant H2A.Bbd and shed a light on biological function of H2A.Bbd.
