Chromatin is composed of arrays of nucleosomes, with each nucleosome comprising an octamer formed by two copies each of the H2A-H2B and H3-H4 heterodimers (10). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, each of the canonical histones is encoded by two genes: H2A by HTA1 and HTA2, H2B by HTB1 and HTB2, H3 by HHT1 and HHT2, and H4 by HHF1 and HHF2. The eight genes are organized into four pairs of divergently-transcribed loci: HTA1-HTB1 and HTA2-HTB2, each encoding histone proteins H2A and H2B; and HHT1-HHF1 and HHT2-HHF2, each encoding histone proteins H3 and H4. As a result of this redundancy, deletion of any one histone locus does not cause lethality (11). The H3-H4 protein dimers interact via a four-helix bundle at the H3 C-termini, and the H2A-H2B dimers bind to the resulting central H3-H4 tetramer via a similar four-helix bundle interaction between the H2B and H4 C-termini (12). Approximately 150 bp of duplex DNA is wound onto the histone octamer as two turns of a negative superhelix (13). A single copy of the linker histone H1 (encoded by HHO1) binds between the superhelices at the site of DNA entry and exit. In some nucleosomes, the histone variant H2A.Z (encoded by HTZ1) is substituted for the canonical H2A in a wide, but nonrandom, genomic distribution, enriched in promoter regions as compared to coding regions (14). The positioning of nucleosomes along chromatin has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression, since the packaging of DNA into nucleosomes affects sequence accessibility (15). Nucleosomes prevent many DNA-binding proteins from approaching their sites (16, 17, 18), whereas appropriately positioned nucleosomes can bring discontiguous DNA sequences into close proximity to promote transcription (19).", "date_edited": "2007-05-31"}, "literature_overview": {"primary_count": 159, "additional_count": 282, "review_count": 125, "go_count": 1, "phenotype_count": 3, "disease_count": 0, "interaction_count": 137, "regulation_count": 14, "ptm_count": 22, "funComplement_count": 0, "htp_count": 26, "total_count": 701}, "disease_overview": {"manual_disease_terms": [], "htp_disease_terms": [], "computational_annotation_count": 0, "date_last_reviewed": null}, "ecnumbers": [], "URS_ID": null, "main_strain": "S288C", "genetic_position": 0.2, "regulation_overview": {"regulator_count": 23, "target_count": 0}, "reference_mapping": {"609576": 1, "541549": 2, "545431": 3, "553678": 4, "562115": 5, "560346": 6, "560266": 7, "648699": 8, "579233": 9, "525910": 10, "618194": 11, "568795": 12, "501032": 13, "525380": 14, "530228": 15, "501029": 16, "501026": 17, "633866": 18, "501023": 19}, "history": [{"category": "Name", "history_type": "LSP", "note": "Name: HTB2", "date_created": "2000-05-19", "references": [{"id": 609576, "display_name": "Kolodrubetz D, et al.

Phenotype Details

Phenotype

Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided. Click "Phenotype Details" to view all phenotype annotations and evidence for this locus as well as phenotypes it shares with other genes.


Summary
Non-essential gene due to the presence of nearly identical HTB1, deletion of both HTB1 and HTB2 is lethal; null mutation of HTB1 causes slow growth, shortened chronological lifespan, decreased competitive fitness; other mutations affect mating, sporulation, and resistance to oxidative stress

Expression

Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
