CC -!- FUNCTION: Core component of nucleosome which plays a central role in CC DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA CC into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries CC which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role CC in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and CC chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set CC of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone CC code, and nucleosome remodeling. CC -!- SUBUNIT: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules CC each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and CC two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of CC DNA. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Chromosome. CC -!- DOMAIN: The [ST]-Q motif constitutes a recognition sequence for kinases CC from the PI3/PI4-kinase family. CC -!- PTM: Phosphorylated to form H2AS128ph (gamma-H2A) in response to DNA CC double-strand breaks (DSBs) generated by exogenous genotoxic agents and CC by stalled replication forks. Phosphorylation is dependent on the DNA CC damage checkpoint kinases mec1/ATR and tel1/ATM, spreads on either side CC of a detected DSB site and may mark the surrounding chromatin for CC recruitment of proteins required for DNA damage signaling and repair. CC Gamma-H2A is removed from the DNA prior to the strand invasion-primer CC extension step of the repair process and subsequently dephosphorylated. CC Dephosphorylation is necessary for efficient recovery from the DNA CC damage checkpoint (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- PTM: Acetylated by esa1 to form H2AK4ac and H2AK7ac. {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: In contrast to vertebrates and insects, its C-terminus CC is not monoubiquitinated. {ECO:0000305}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the histone H2A family. {ECO:0000305}. CC -!- CAUTION: To ensure consistency between histone entries, we follow the CC 'Brno' nomenclature for histone modifications, with positions referring CC to those used in the literature for the 'closest' model organism. Due CC to slight variations in histone sequences between organisms and to the CC presence of initiator methionine in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot sequences, the CC actual positions of modified amino acids in the sequence generally CC differ. In this entry the following conventions are used: H2AK4ac = CC acetylated Lys-5; H2AK7ac = acetylated Lys-9; H2AS128ph = CC phosphorylated Ser-128. {ECO:0000305}.
