Histone H3.3, an H3 variant that is found in all eukaryotes from yeast to human, is replication and cell cycle phase-independent and is the most common H3 in non-dividing cells. It has been shown to be enriched in covalent modifications associated with gene activation (4,5).
Histone H3 combines with Histone H4 to form the H3/H4 tetramer. Two H2A/H2B heterodimers interact with an H3/H4 tetramer to form the histone octamer (1,2). It is also modified by various enzymes and can act as a substrate for them. These modifications have been shown to be important in gene regulation.
