Facts about Histone H2A-Bbd type 2/3.
Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. Nucleosomes containing this histone are less rigid and organize less DNA than canonical nucleosomes in vivo.

Present in mature sperm.
Nucleus. Chromosome. Associated with the active X chromosome and with autosomes, while it is absent from the inactive X chromosome and excluded from Barr bodies.



PMID: 11266453 by Chadwick B.P., et al. A novel chromatin protein, distantly related to histone H2A, is largely excluded from the inactive X chromosome.
PMID: 15257289 by Bao Y., et al. Nucleosomes containing the histone variant H2A.Bbd organize only 118 base pairs of DNA.
