Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 20Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function H2A4_CHICK 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.
