General Information
Term histone binding ID (Ontology) GO:0042393 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Binding to a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaryotic or archaeal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in gene regulation and DNA replication. They may be chemically modified (methylated, acetlyated and others) to regulate gene transcription.[ PubMed:16209651 PubMed:30212449 PubMed:9305837 ]
