Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of chromatin. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Orthologous to several human genes including H3C1 (H3 clustered histone 1); H3C10 (H3 clustered histone 10); and H3C11 (H3 clustered histone 11).
WB Description
his-49 encodes an H3 histone; by homology, HIS-49 is predicted to function as a nucleosome component required for packaging of DNA into chromatin; his-49 is a replication-dependent histone locus that resides in a histone gene-rich region on chromosome V.
