	PROSITE documentation PDOC00308 [for PROSITE entry PS00357]

Histone H2B signature

Histone H2B is one of the four histones, along with H2A, H3 and H4, which forms the eukaryotic nucleosome core. Using alignments of histone H2B sequences [1,2,E1], we selected a conserved region in the C-terminal part of H2B.
