Histone-encoding genes from Pyrococcus: evidence for members of the HMf family of archaeal histones in a non-methanogenic Archaeon.

K Sandman1, F B Perler, J N Reeve.   

Abstract

Two genes, designated hpyA1 and hpyA2, have been cloned and sequenced from Pyrococcus strain GB-3a. They are predicted to encode proteins (HPyA1 and HPyA2, respectively) that are approx. 60% identical to the histones HMf and HMt, characterized from methanogenic Archaea. These archaeal histones also contain the amino-acid sequences, conserved in eukaryotic H4 histones, that are thought to interact directly with DNA.
