Eukaryotes have five histone proteins: H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 form the histone core, around which DNA forms a nucleosome, and H1 seals the DNA entry/exit for stability.
Eukaryotic histones include H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 form the core around which DNA wraps to create a nucleosome, and H1 stabilizes this structure by sealing the DNA.
| Text | There are 5 histone proteins in Eukaryotes: H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 form the histone core and about 200 BP of DNA are wrapped around the protein complex, forming the nucleosome H1 seals off the DNA as it enters or leaves the nucleosome, adding extra stability to the structure |
