This protein can be ubiquitinated in planta, and this modification depends on the HUB1 and HUB2 E3 ubiquitin ligases as well as the UBC1 and UBC2 E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes. Lysine 146 appears to be the site of the ubiquitin addition.

                                                    Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
