| Type | Comment |
|---|---|
| function | Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. |
| similarity | Belongs to the histone H2A family. |
| tissue specificity | Expressed mainly in non-dividing tissues of the plant. Also found in meristems and dividing cells. |
