Summary Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core hi

Protein name Core histone macro-H2A.1 (Histone macroH2A1) (mH2A1) (Histone H2A.y) (H2A/y) (Medulloblastoma antigen MU-MB-50.205)
Protein function Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes where it represses transcription (PubMed:12718888, PubMed:15621527, PubMed:16428466). Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to t
