TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes HTA8, a histone H2A protein. Loss of all H2A.Z (triple mutant with HTA9 and HTA11) results in a reduction in DNA methylation of transposons but not that of genes. Loss of H2A.Z causes misregulation of many genes involved in the response to developmental and environmental cues, and that these genes tend to have high levels of gene-body H2A.Z. |
