The primary structure of the histone H2A(2) type from wheat germ. A core histone type with both, N-terminal and C-terminal extensions

Eur J Biochem. 1988 May 2;173(3):555-60. doi: 10.1111/j.1432-1033.1988.tb14035.x.

Abstract

The histone H2A(2) type from wheat germ comprises at least two highly homologous isohistones with 151 amino acid residues. Microheterogeneity occurs mainly at the N-terminal and C-terminal regions. These isohistones have both N-terminal (7 amino acid residues) and C-terminal (15 amino acid residues) extensions relative to calf thymus histone H2A.
