HISTONE GENE CLUSTER 1, H3 HISTONE FAMILY, MEMBER G; HIST1H3G


Alternative titles; symbols

HISTONE GENE CLUSTER 1, H3G
HIST1 CLUSTER, H3G
H3 HISTONE FAMILY, MEMBER H; H3FH
H3/H


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: H3C8

Cytogenetic location: 6p22.2     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:26,270,918-26,271,413 (from NCBI)


▼ TEXT

For background information on histones, histone gene clusters, and the H3 histone family, see HIST1H3A (602810).

▼ Cloning and Expression

By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) identified the mouse and human HIST1H3G genes. They noted that all H3 genes in histone gene cluster-1 (HIST1), including HIST1H3G, encode the same protein, designated H3.1. H3.1 differs from H3.2, which is encoded by HIST2H3C (142780), at only 1 residue, and from histone H3.3, which is encoded by both H3F3A (601128) and H3F3B (601058), at a few residues.


▼ Mapping

By analysis of a YAC contig from chromosome 6p21.3, Albig et al. (1997) characterized a cluster of 35 histone genes that included H3/h.

By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) determined that the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21, which they called HIST1, contains 55 histone genes, including HIST1H3G.


▼ Gene Function

See HIST1H3A (602810) for functional information on H3.1 and the H3 histone family.
