Simple, water-soluble proteins attached to the DNA of eukaryotes which allows this DNA to be packaged into chromosomes. Histones contain a large proportion of the amino acids arginine, lysine, and histidine. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and ha...

Proteins that bind DNA and help wrap it into tightly packaged chromatin. Histones and other DNA-binding proteins can affect the pattern of gene expression in different cell types by controlling access to the DNA.

Proteins found in the nuclei of all eukaryotic cells where they are complexed to DNA in chromatin and chromosomes. They are of relatively low molecular weight and are basic, having a very high arginine/lysine content. They are highly conserved and can be grouped into five major classes. Two copies of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 bind to about 200 base pairs of DNA to form the repeating structure of chromatin, the nucleosome, with H1 binding to the linker sequence. They may act as nonspecific repressors of gene transcription. See Table H1.
