About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for HIST2H3A: Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber ineukaryotes. This structure consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a nucleosome, an octamer composed ofpairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through theinteraction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures.This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails;instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in a histone cluster on chromosome 1. Thisgene is one of four histone genes in the cluster that are duplicated; this record represents the centromeric copy.(provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H32_HUMAN, Q71DI3Function: Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility tothe cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcriptionregulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set ofpost-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling

About This Section
| UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: H32_HUMAN, Q71DI3 (See
protein sequence)Recommended Name: Histone H3.2 Size: 136 amino acids; 15388 Da
Subunit: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in oneH3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA. During nucleosomeassembly the chaperone ASF1A interacts with the histone H3-H4 heterodimer
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Chromosome
Developmental stage: Expressed during S phase, then expression strongly decreases as cell division slows down duringthe process of differentiation

Post-translational modifications:
Acetylation is generally linked to gene activation. Acetylation on Lys-10 (H3K9ac) impairs methylation at Arg-9(H3R8sme2). Acetylation on Lys-19 (H3K18ac) and Lys-24 (H3K24ac) favors methylation at Arg-18 (H3R17me)1
Citrullination at Arg-9 (H3R8ci) and/or Arg-18 (H3R17ci) by PADI4 impairs methylation and represses transcription1
Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-18 (H3R17me2a) by CARM1 is linked to gene activation. Symmetric dimethylation at Arg-9(H3R8sme2) by PRMT5 is linked to gene repression. Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-3 (H3R2me2a) by PRMT6 is linked togene repression and is mutually exclusive with H3 Lys-5 methylation (H3K4me2 and H3K4me3). H3R2me2a is present at the3' of genes regardless of their transcription state and is enriched on inactive promoters, while it is absent onactive promoters1
Methylation at Lys-5 (H3K4me), Lys-37 (H3K36me) and Lys-80 (H3K79me) are linked to gene activation. Methylation atLys-5 (H3K4me) facilitates subsequent acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-80 (H3K79me) is associated with DNAdouble-strand break (DSB) responses and is a specific target for TP53BP1. Methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) and Lys-28(H3K27me) are linked to gene repression. Methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) is a specific target for HP1 proteins (CBX1,CBX3 and CBX5) and prevents subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) and acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylationat Lys-5 (H3K4me) and Lys-80 (H3K79me) require preliminary monoubiquitination of H2B at 'Lys-120'. Methylation atLys-10 (H3K9me) and Lys-28 (H3K27me) are enriched in inactive X chromosome chromatin1
Phosphorylated at Thr-4 (H3T3ph) by GSG2/haspin during prophase and dephosphorylated during anaphase. Phosphorylationat Ser-11 (H3S10ph) by AURKB is crucial for chromosome condensation and cell-cycle progression during mitosis andmeiosis. In addition phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) by RPS6KA4 and RPS6KA5 is important during interphase becauseit enables the transcription of genes following external stimulation, like mitogens, stress, growth factors or UVirradiation and result in the activation of genes, such as c-fos and c-jun. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph), whichis linked to gene activation, prevents methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) but facilitates acetylation of H3 and H4.Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) by AURKB mediates the dissociation of HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) fromheterochromatin. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) is also an essential regulatory mechanism for neoplastic celltransformation. Phosphorylated at Ser-29 (H3S28ph) by MLTK isoform 1, RPS6KA5 or AURKB during mitosis or uponultraviolet B irradiation. Phosphorylation at Thr-7 (H3T6ph) by PRKCBB is a specific tag for epigenetictranscriptional activation that prevents demethylation of Lys-5 (H3K4me) by LSD1/KDM1A. At centromeres, specificallyphosphorylated at Thr-12 (H3T11ph) from prophase to early anaphase, by DAPK3 and PKN1. Phosphorylation at Thr-12(H3T11ph) by PKN1 is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation that promotes demethylation of Lys-10(H3K9me) by KDM4C/JMJD2C. Phosphorylation at Tyr-42 (H3Y41ph) by JAK2 promotes exclusion of CBX5 (HP1 alpha) fromchromatin1
Monoubiquitinated by RAG1 in lymphoid cells, monoubiquitination is required for V(D)J recombination (By similarity).Ubiquitinated by the CUL4-DDB-RBX1 complex in response to ultraviolet irradiation. This may weaken the interactionbetween histones and DNA and facilitate DNA accessibility to repair proteins1
