Histone H2B

Definition

Histone H2B is one of the five histones, along with H1/H5, H2A, H3 and H4. Two copies of each of the H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histones ensemble to form the core of the nucleosome PMID:16472024. The nucleosome forms octameric structure that wraps DNA in a left-handed manner. Histones can undergo several different types of post-translational modifications that affect transcription, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability.
