Home > Histone octamer

A histone octamer is an octamer of histones found at the center of a nucleosome core particle. It consists of 2 H2A , 2 H2B , 2 H3, and 2 H4. These histones of the histone octamer all contain N-terminal tails that emanate from their central histone folds, and core domains with the C-terminals. The core domains are hydrophobic.

HistoneIn biology, histones are the chief proteins of chromatin. They act as spools around which DNA winds and they play a role in gene regulation. Histones are found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells. Bacteria do not have histones, but histones are found in cer	Histone methyltransferaseHistone methyltransferases (HMT) are enzymes which catalyze the transfer of one to three methyl groups from the cofactor s-adenosylmethionine to lysine and arginine residues of histone proteins. These proteins have been characterized by a SET (Su(var)3-9,	Histone geneA histone gene is a gene that codes for histone.
