- * Histone H2B signature *
- *************************
-
- Histone H2B is one of the four histones, along with H2A, H3 and H4, which
- forms the eukaryotic nucleosome core. Using alignments of histone H2B
- sequences [1,2], we selected a conserved region in the C-terminal part of
- H2B.
-
- -Consensus pattern: L-P-G-E-L-A-[RK]-H-A
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Text revised.
