Term Information

Accession
GO:0042393
Name
histone binding
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
histone-specific chaperone activity
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Binding to a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaryotic or archaeal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in gene regulation and DNA replication. They may be chemically modified (methylated, acetlyated and others) to regulate gene transcription. Source: PMID:9305837, PMID:16209651, GOC:jl, PMID:30212449
