A gene that encodes a variant of histone H3, which is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure and function of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Histones are involved in the packaging of DNA into a compact, organized structure, allowing for proper gene regulation and expression. mutations in histone genes, including HIST1H3B, can be found in certain cancers, such as pediatric gliomas and other tumors. These mutations can lead to changes in the epigenetic landscape of the cells, contributing to tumorigenesis by affecting how genes are turned on or off.
Expression levels of histone genes, including HIST1H3B, can be upregulated or downregulated. This dysregulation can contribute to the cancerous phenotype by affecting the overall epigenetic landscape of the tumor cells.
