General description

In mammalian cells, four histone H1 variants (H1.2 to H1.5) are found in all somatic cells, and a fifth (H1.1) is present in thymus, testis and spleen, lymphocytic and neuronal cells. K26/H1.4 is present within the flexible N-terminal domain of H1.4 just before the globular domain. Histone modifications are thought to play an important role in cancer and disease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Linker histone H1 binds to DNA between nucleosomal core particles and is involved in establishing and maintaining higher order chromatin structures. It is covalently modified. Histone H1 phosphorylation occurs at multiple sites including at Ser²⁷ residue. Histone H1.4 is di-methylated or acetylated at Lys²⁶. enhancer of Zeste 2 (Ezh2).
