Thermoplasma acidophilum histone-like protein. Partial amino acid sequence suggestive of homology to eukaryotic histones

D G Searcy et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. 1980.

Abstract

Thermoplasma acidophilum is a freeliving mycoplasma-like organism that has a small basic protein tightly bound to its DNA. The N-terminal sequence of this protein has been determined. It has a distanct but statistically significant homology to eukaryotic histones H2A, H3, and to Escherichia coli protein HU.
