H2BC11 Gene

Name H2B clustered histone 11
Description Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the 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 H2B family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the histone microcluster on chromosome 6p21.33. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n H2BC11 is a member of the histone H2B family that functions as a structural component of nucleosomes and plays a critical role in chromatin organization and transcriptional regulation. Several studies highlight that post‐translational modification of H2B family proteins—such as ubiquitination—can modulate gene expression programs that are essential for processes including antiviral responses, where activation of interferon‐stimulated genes is promoted by targeted modification of host H2B (see."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In addition, H2B proteins are widely exploited as fusion reporters in inducible transgenic mouse models to monitor nuclear dynamics and cell cycle progression, thereby serving as valuable tools for lineage tracing and tissue‐specific gene dosage studies (see."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Furthermore, aberrant expression of H2B family members has been associated with cancer progression and prognosis; for instance, differential expression of certain H2B genes forms part of prognostic signatures in glioma, linking chromatin regulation to tumor behavior (see."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Finally, transcriptional regulation of H2B genes—illustrated by their control by factors such as CREB—connects their expression to pathways governing cell proliferation and apoptosis, thereby implicating them in oncogenic processes (see."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In summary, H2BC11 contributes to the fine‐tuning of gene expression by maintaining chromatin structure and serving as a platform for regulatory modifications.
