Background:

Synonyms: macroH2A.1, Core histone macro-H2A.1, Histone H2A.y, Medulloblastoma antigen MU-MB-50.205, Histone macroH2A1, mH2A1, H2A/y, H2AFY, MACROH2A1, H2A histone family member Y.

Background: Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes where it represses transcription. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machinery which requires DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. H2AFY is involved in stable X chromosome inactivation. Inhibits the binding of transcription factors and interferes with the activity of remodeling SWI/SNF complexes. H2AFY inhibits histone acetylation by EP300 and recruits class I HDACs, which induces a hypoacetylated state of chromatin. In addition, isoform 1, but not isoform 2, binds ADP-ribose and O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, and may be involved in ADP-ribose-mediated chromatin modulation.
