Abstract
Core histones are the building block of chromatin and among the most highly conserved proteins in eukaryotes. The related "deviant" histones share the histone-fold domain, and serve various roles in DNA metabolism. We provide here a structural and functional outlook of H2A/H2B-like deviant histones in transcription, replication and remodeling.Keywords: H2A/H2B; NC2; NF-Y; TAF4/12; chromatin; chromatin remodeling complex; histone-fold; nucleosome; posttranslational modifications; transcription factors
