Protein Domain : IPR019809

Type:  Conserved_site Name:  Histone H4, conserved site
Description:  Histone H4 is one of the four histones, along with H2A, H2B and H3, which form the eukaryotic nucleosome core. Along with H3, it plays a central role in nucleosome formation. The sequence of histone H4 has remained almost invariant in more then 2 billion years of evolution []. The signature pattern for this entry is a pentapeptide found in positions 14 to 18 of all H4 sequences. It contains a lysine residue which is often acetylated [] and a histidine residue which is implicated in DNA-binding []. Short Name:  Histone_H4_CS
