Function The Varianthistone H3 replaces H3 in a range of nucleosomes in active genes. Deposited at sites of nucleosomal displacement throughout transcribed genes which represents an epigenetic imprint of active chromatin. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin. Also Histones 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 Structural highlights in a PubMed abstract,CENP-Awhich is a centromere-specific histone H3 variant is over expressed in cancer cells and it can be mislocalized ectopically in the form of heterotypic nucleosomes containing H3.3.
