*************************
* Histone H2A signature *
*************************
Histone H2A is one of the four histones, along with H2B, H3 and H4, which
forms the eukaryotic nucleosome core. Using alignments of histone H2A
sequences [1,2] we selected, as a signature pattern, a conserved region in the
N-terminal part of H2A. This region is conserved both in classical S-phase
regulated H2A's and in variant histone H2A's which are synthesized throughout
the cell cycle.
-Consensus pattern: A-G-L-x-F-P-V
-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.
