/ H1 / Variant: H1.0

H1.0 is a replication independent linker histone found in animals expressed in terminally differentiated cells. Has a common monophyletic origin that can be traced back before the differentiation between protostomes and deuterostomes, very early in metazoan evolution.
Alternate names: H1°, H1δ, H5, RI H1
Below, you can explore the features of H1.0 from Homo sapiens, if available and how it compares to the canonical histones of the same type (first row). Canonical histone is shown in the first row, the names and descriptions of each feature can be found underneath. To explore variants from other species, please browse our curated sequences, automatically extracted sequences, or by taxonomy.

Keys: red - identical residues, blue - different residues (if more than one sequence).
alpha1
Alpha1-helix, first helix of winged helix-turn-helix domain
beta1
Beta-strand between two helices
alpha2
Alpha2-helix, second helix of winged helix-turn-helix domain
alpha3
Alpha3-helix
beta2
Beta-strand of short beta-sheet of C-terminal region

Beta-strand of short beta-sheet of C-terminal region
AKP helix
Positively charged carboxy-terminal domain involved in specific protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, possibly plays roles in suppressing core histone tail domain acetylation in chromatin fiber.

Features characteristic for a given histone type/variant are marked below the consensus sequence. For feature description see summary tabs of the corresponding variants pages.
Keys: red - 80% identical, blue - 50% identical columns. X-ambigous positions in consensus sequence.
