Histone H2A.Z

H2AZ gene is located on chromosome number 4. Expression is replication independent (PMID: 1697587 ). Reports argue that H2AZ does not self-propogate unto the surrounding nucleosomes and hence might have restricted epigenetic features (PMID: 16809769). p400 (ATP-dependent complex, homolog of Swr1) is reported to be important for the localization of H2AZ in the chromatin and this function regulates p21 transcription (PMID: 17671089).
