Linker histone H1 is an essential component of chromatin structure. H1 links nucleosomes into higher order structures Histone H1 is replaced by histone H5 in some cell types.

A conserved alpha helical domain with a characteristic LXXLL motif [1] [2]. The LXXLL motif is detected in diverse transcription factors, coactivators and corepressors and is implicated in mediating interactions between them [3]. The ASXH domain is found in animals, fungi and plants [4] and is predicted to play a role in mediating contact between transcription factors and chromatin-associated complexes. In Drosophila Asx and Human ASXL1, the ASXH domain is predicted to mediate interactions with the Calypso and BAP1 deubiquitinases (DUBs) which further belong to the UCHL5/UCH37 clade of DUBs [4].

CENP-T is a family of vertebral kinetochore proteins that associates directly with CENP-W. The N-terminus of CENP-T proteins interacts directly with the Ndc80 complex in the outer kinetochore. Importantly, the CENP-T-W complex does not directly associate with CENP-A, but with histone H3 in the centromere region. CENP-T and -W form a hetero-tetramer with CENP-S and -X and bind to a ~100 bp region of nucleosome-free DNA forming a nucleosome-like structure. The DNA-CENP-T-W-S-X complex is likely to be associated with histone H3-containing nucleosomes rather than with CENP-nucleosomes. This domain is the C-terminal histone fold domain of CENP-T, which associates with chromatin [2-3].
This family contains a number of ubiquitin-like proteins: SUMO (smt3 homologue) (see Swiss:Q02724), Nedd8 (see Swiss:P29595), Elongin B (see Swiss:Q15370), Rub1 (see Swiss:Q9SHE7), and Parkin (see Swiss:O60260). A number of them are thought to carry ...
This family contains a number of ubiquitin-like proteins: SUMO (smt3 homologue) (see Swiss:Q02724), Nedd8 (see Swiss:P29595), Elongin B (see Swiss:Q15370), Rub1 (see Swiss:Q9SHE7), and Parkin (see Swiss:O60260). A number of them are thought to carry a distinctive five-residue motif termed the proteasome-interacting motif (PIM), which may have a biologically significant role in protein delivery to proteasomes and recruitment of proteasomes to transcription sites [5].
