| UniProt Protein Function: | H1B: Histone H1 protein binds to linker DNA between nucleosomes forming the macromolecular structure known as the chromatin fiber. Histones H1 are necessary for the condensation of nucleosome chains into higher-order structured fibers. Acts also as a regulator of individual gene transcription through chromatin remodeling, nucleosome spacing and DNA methylation. Belongs to the histone H1/H5 family. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:DNA-binding Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p22.1 Cellular Component: nuclear chromatin; nuclear heterochromatin; nucleosome Molecular Function:chromatin DNA binding; histone deacetylase binding Biological Process: establishment and/or maintenance of chromatin architecture; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; nucleosome assembly; positive regulation of cell growth; positive regulation of histone H3-K9 methylation; protein stabilization |
| NCBI Summary: | Histones are basic nuclear proteins responsible for nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H1 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the small histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3.
